Marshall Field was without question
the greatest and most successful mer-
chant of his generation. and he was
one Of the worlds richest men, his
wealth being estimated at anywhere
from 800 900. 600 to 100000 0O0 He
was a native Of Conway. Mass. where
he was born in 1895. His father was a
farmer. and Mr.. Field obtained his ed
ucat!on In the public schools Of Con-
way. At the age OF II he became
clerk in a general country store in
Pittsneld. Mass. where he remained
for four years. He came to Chicago
in 1856. and began his career in this
city as n clerk in the wholesale dry
goods establishment Of Cooley. Wads-
worth e. Co. During the four years he
remained with this house he showed
marked commercial ability, and in 1860
he was given a partnership. The late
Levi q Letter was also connected with

tinued until 1867, when Mr.. Palmer

largest enterprise OF its kind in the
world. having numerous branches
throughout Europe and Asia. It's re-
markable succcss Is attributed almost
entirely TO Mr.. Field and his methods.
He made It a rule never to borrow
money. and never to Issue a note. He
paid cash for everything he bought,
not only In connection with his dry
goods enterprise but for all OF his deal
lngs in. real estate and in other invest
ments. The great fire Of 1871 was the
only reverse ever experienced by the
house of Marshall Field & Co. Its losses
at that time aggregated over $1,000
900.

first wife having died several years
ago. Mrs. Field left two children, Ethel,
now married and residing in leaning

one dreaded disease that science has been
