  • Marshall Field's Department Store
    Marshall Field’s Department Store – A Chicago Landmark Long before Nordstrom’s developed their “easy return” policy, Marshall Field’s was famous for their unconditional returns. The upscale department store of the gilded age is also credited with the retail dictums “Give the Lady What She Wants” and “The Customer Is Always Right.” On October 8, 1871, when the great Chicago fire broke out, company officials and employees worked round the clock to remove as much merchandise as possible, eventually working by the light of the approaching fire. When the city waterworks burned, any hope of saving the store was lost. So much merchandise had been saved, however, that the store was able to reopen temporarily in a horse car barn. I include the history because If you don’t understand how Marshall Field’s has been essential to Chicago for over a century, you can’t appreciate the disappointment people felt when it was purchased by Macy’s in 2005 and the name was changed. Chicagoans mourned the loss of a grand tradition. When I was a child, it was a huge treat to travel downtown to see their Christmas windows, and the tradition of the three story (45 ft) Christmas tree still prevails. As a child, you would nearly fall over trying to view the decorations at the very top. If we were “very good” (translation – when mom was exhausted) we might get to eat in the cafeteria, then naturally, rush to chocolate kitchen on the seventh floor to watch workers box Frango mints, while we inhaled the rich aroma of chocolate.

  • St John's University Undergraduate Student Managed Investment Fund Presents: Target Corporation Stock Analysis November 11, 20
    St John’s University Undergraduate Student Managed Investment Fund Presents: Target Corporation Stock Analysis November 11, 2003 Recommendation: Purchase 300 shares of Target stock at market value Industry: Retail Analysts: Jennifer Tang – [email protected] Michael Vida – [email protected] Share Data: Fundamentals: Price - $39.15 P/E (2/03) – 21.63 Date – November 6, 2003 P/E (2/04E) – 21.96 Target Price – $44.58 P/E (2/05E) – 22.95 52 Week Price Range – $25.60 - $41.80 Book Value/Share – $11.03 Market Capitalization – $35.40 billion Price/Book Value – $3.60 Revenue 2002 – $43.917 billion Dividend Yield – 0.72% Projected EPS Growth – 15% Shares Outstanding – 910.9 million ROE 2002 – 17.51% Stock Chart: Executive Summary After analyzing Target Corp’s financials, industry and future outlook, we recommend the purchase of 300 shares of the company’s stock at market order. As a leading discount retailer, only behind Walmart, Target has made considerable growth in the industry over the past few years. Target offers an array of merchandise from women’s apparel, household products, toys and even food. One of the strengths of Target lies in its development of private brands, which helps create a strong image of the store in the customers’ minds. The company is able to further lower its costs through direct sourcing, buying merchandise at lower prices and strengthening its bargaining position with suppliers. While Target Corp hasn’t seen as much success with its other operations of Marshall Fields and Mervyn’s as it has with its namesake store, the company plans to invest resources into these two areas to turn around results.

BCRF grantees are working together, sharing ideas to use resources effectively and maximize results.

  • The Farwell Brothers of Chicago: a Postal and Philatelic Portrait by Ken Lawrence (First Appeared in Scott Stamp Monthly, April 2010
    The Farwell Brothers of Chicago: a postal and philatelic portrait By Ken Lawrence (First appeared in Scott Stamp Monthly, April 2010. Editorial changes have been made in this posting) Two men who built great personal fortunes and significantly influenced the rise of Chicago as a metropolitan center of the United States are largely forgotten today, even by historians who have chronicled those events. Ironically, John V. Farwell’s name appears in more stamp catalogs and other philatelic literature than in history books, although the listed items did not exist during his lifetime. His older brother, Charles B. Farwell, chose a career in politics after amassing a fortune in land speculation, as Chicago grew from a cholera-plagued mud hole on the prairie to become the nation’s second largest metropolis. The Town of Chicago incorporated on August 12, 1833, with 350 residents. The state legislature chartered Chicago as a city on March 4, 1837. By the time the 15-year old Charles and 13-year-old John V. Farwell passed through in July 1838, aboard their family’s prairie schooner on its way westward to a farm along the Rock River in Ogle County, Illinois, the population had grown to about 3,000 people huddled along the north and south banks of the Chicago River’s outlet on the lake, with the two communities connected by rope-drawn ferries. The Farwell brothers’ father Henry had pulled up roots in Big Flats, New York, and followed the setting sun to seek his fortune in the Great West, as today’s Midwest was known.

  • 01082006 Marshall Field's the Last Christmas MARSHALL FIELD's
    Issue Date: 2006 January, Posted On: 1/9/2006 01082006 Marshall Field's The Last Christmas By Pat Terry MARSHALL FIELD'S: THE LAST CHRISTMAS A FIRST-PERSON REPORT FROM CHICAGO Dining under the Marshall Field's tree has been a downtown Chicago holiday tradition for over 100 years. By Pat Terry When Federated Department Stores announced in 2005 that it would be scrapping the name of its recently purchased store, Marshall Field's, and replacing it with the "Macy'sVbCrLf� nameplate, a collective cry of outrage was heard throughout Chicagoland. Field's, after all, was a longtime (154 years) institution, which engendered the popular refrain, "Meet me under the clock at Field's.VbCrLf� Somehow, "Meet me under the clock at Macy'sVbCrLf� has a hollow sound - that is, if there will even BE a clock. The Midwest is not California or New York. Midwesterners are solid, slow to jump on the latest trend and proud of it. We love the old, the traditional - and we hated losing the old Stock Exchange, Meigs Field, the Tree Studios, City News Bureau and, on February 28, the century-old Berghoff Restaurant. And now it's Marshall Field's, the grande dame of Chicago retailing, and the world's second largest department store. Housed in a National Historic Landmark building on State Street, in the heart of the city's fabled "Loop" (other Field's stores are in the suburbs and Wisconsin), Field's was bought by Federated last year and, we fear, nothing will ever be the same. By September, Macy's, that interloper, will be slapping its name on our Field's stores.
