Description
A thorough, sincere study of the men bearing the name of Marshall Field, and the accomplishments of their life work. The rise of Marshall Field I from clerk to merchant prince, involving, of course, the growth of Chicago, is carefully traced, traying Field as he wished to be known- only as a business man, interested in that would further and stabilize business. Marshall Field II is passed over as an unhappy weak character whose only contribution to the Field tradition was his son, Marshall Field III. The rather idle social life, fine record in World War I, and two unsuccessful marriages of Field III are contrasted with his broadened, productive life after psychoanalysis, when he was instrumental in founding the newspaper PM and the Ch Sun, bought Simon & Schuster and the magazine The Southern Farmer in order to spr his liberal philosophy. Much more informative than Battle for Chicago, this should interest men, many Chicagoans, students of economics and sociology, and is excellent reference material.
