Glamorama: An Exciting Walk On The Green Carpet at Marshall Field's

I haven't been able to pinpoint what year this issue of US Nitely Magazine came out, but thought I would be remiss to exclude it. The cover speaks volumes as to the glamour, fashion, fun, excitement and smiles that Marshall Field's Glamorama generated in Chicago and elsewhere.

Marshall Field & Company Trunks

"Before they were known for their department stores, Marshall Field made a lot of trunks. Mostly all standard box trunks, a little short in snappy features, but they worked and lasted well. Covered trays were standard issue. Started late 1800s, made trunks up until the 1940s, as near as we can tell."
