Title: New Book Takes a Look Back at Marshall Field’s Publisher: Arcadia Publishing Date: 7/11/2011 The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Images of America and Postcard of America series is Remembering Marshall Field’s from local author Leslie Goddard. The book boasts more than 200 vintage images and memories of days gone by. For more than 150 years, Marshall Field’s reigned as Chicago’s leading department store, celebrated for its exceptional service, spectacular window displays, and fashionable merchandise. Few shoppers recalled its origins as a small dry goods business opened in 1852 by a New York Quaker named Potter Palmer. That store, eventually renamed Marshall Field and Company, weathered economic downturns, spectacular fires, and fierce competition to become a world-class retailer and merchandise powerhouse. Marshall Field sent buyers to Europe for the latest fashions, insisted on courteous service, and immortalized the phrase “give the lady what she wants.” The store prided itself on its dazzling Tiffany mosaic dome, Walnut Room restaurant, bronze clocks, and a string of firsts including the first bridal registry and first book signing. Leslie Goddard is a historian and author who writes and lectures on American cultural history, with particular expertise in women’s history. She holds a Ph.D. in interdisciplinary studies and an M.A. in museum studies. In addition to her own stint as a Marshall Field’s sales associate, her grandfather worked at the State Street store for 26 years, serving as merchandise manager for linens and manager of the Far Eastern buying office. Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com. Arcadia Publishing is the leading publisher of local and regional history in the United States.
