Marshall Field’s [Marshall Fields]
a well-known US ↑department store in ↑Chicago. It was established on State Street in 1868 when Marshall Field moved his small shop there. He increased its size in 1907, and Marshall Field’s became a place for social meetings, with a Ladies’ Parlour and a Men’s Reading and Writing Room. It has seven floors around a large central area which is open to the top of the building. There are now Marshall Field’s stores in other US cities.
