Remembering Marshall Field's: 12/13/09 - 12/20/09

http://rememberingmarshallfields.blogspot.com/2009_12_13_archive.html

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Marshall Field's delivery wagons. One of the most common memories of Marshall Field's must be its delivery trucks. Those gorgeous green trucks coming up the street with fabulous goodies inside. By the end, these were used for furniture and not a whole lot else. But for decades the store would delivery anything from a new refrigerator to a spool of thread. In those days, it was not unknown for retailers to whip horses and flog them, sometimes even to death. According to.

Monday, January 11, 2010. Norman Rockwell immortalized the store’s clocks in a typically whimsical illustration for the cover of the wildly popular Saturday Evening Post on Nov. 3, 1945:. The clock depicted is the Randolph St. clock, as evidenced by the Oriental Theater sign partially visible in the background. Macy’s later donated it to the Chicago History Museum, sealing its status, in turn, as an icon of Chicago history. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'd love to hear from you? View my complete profile.

Remembering Marshall Field's: A Walk Through Marshall Field's in 1946

http://rememberingmarshallfields.blogspot.com/2010/04/walk-through-marshall-fields-in-1946.html

Friday, April 9, 2010. A Walk Through Marshall Field's in 1946. Thumbing through a copy of the store's 1946 guidebook (tellingly, a guidebook for both the store and the city - presumably as a useful service for tourists):. It occurred to me that scanning this booklet is almost like taking a walk through the store, so I thought I'd post a few. These aren't all the photos in the guidebook, but a scattered assortment for those who care to step back in time. You start on the main aisle:. The guidebook didn't...

Marshall Field's Forever: December 2008

http://marshallfieldsforever.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Frango Mints - Still Not Made in Chicago. As many of you remember, Macy's. Promised to bring the production of 1 lb. boxes of. Back to Chicago for manufacturing. As proposed, Cupid Candies would make the 1 lb. boxes of regular mint Frangos ONLY. The remainder of the flavors would still be made by Gertrude Hawk Chocolates of Dunmore, PA.
