"I will close my account and shop only at Carson Pirie Scott or Nordstom's!"
"As a native Chicagoan for 49 years prior to moving to Florida, I have continued to shop at Marshall Field's from here and on my yearly trips to Chicago. To me, Macy's means New York. Also, Macy's promised, when they bought Burdine's (in FL), that they wou"
"Changing Marshall Fields's name to Macy's is highly unlikely to increase business at the department stores. Moves such as hosting Jennifer Lopez's new stores are likely to increase sales. In short, increasing business is the right idea, but changing Marsh"

"Long-time customer of Fields"
"As a former Chicagoan who lives in Los Angeles--I still shop there when I am in town and online. I have my personal shopper at Field's-Old Orchard store. Also, when I was in College, Marshall Field's was my first credit card in 1973! Re-think the name cha"
