Marshall Field & Company was a legendary American department store chain founded in Chicago in 1852 by Potter Palmer and eventually renamed in 1881 by Marshall Field. The company revolutionized retail by pioneering concepts like the department store tea room, the bridal registry, personal shoppers, and revolving credit. Their signature slogan, "Give the lady what she wants," directly inspired the maxim "The customer is always right," setting a new standard for customer service and influencing competitors. The company's iconic flagship store on State Street is a National Landmark, though the brand was retired and all stores were rebranded as Macy's in 2006.
