Marshall Field & Co. in its Christmas
present" to the employees.
In Marshall Fields, John G. Shedd,
"Dapper Jimmy" Simpson and the
rest of the protectors" of the Field
millions paused long enough in the
counting of the profits of their most
successful year to order typewriter
letters of thanks sent to their en-
ployes. But at Mandel's it was diff
ferent.
Eddie Mandel, Denny Kelly and the
rest of the bosses got so excited
about the shower of gold that fell on,
Mandel Bros. that they forgot all
about their employees until the "gelt'
had been sailed. It was also Mandel
Bros most successful year as far as
profits were concerned. ....
But the hundreds of Mandel en-
ployes got no share of these profits.
They got no bonus, no raise in sal
airy. They received, nary a word of
thanks. But maybe Eddie and Denny
didn't have the, nerve to kid their
employees by sending them letter
of thanks.
However, hearing about the letter
stunt tried by Marshall Fields and
other stores along State street, Ed
die and Denny decided to wish their
employees a happy New Year. In the
Jan. 8 issue of the ''Mandel Bros
