Marshall Field's State St. store, from Target Corp. web siteLetting go is hard.

On the web site of Target Corp.—the former Dayton-Hudson Corp.—you can still find a Flash presentation promoting Marshall Field’s flagship on Chicago’s State Street. (One year and two owners ago, Field’s was owned by Target Corp.)

    I care. The Macyfication of America’s great department stores will, I predict, turn out to be a greater marketing disaster than New Coke.

    Every day here in Seattle, I have to walk past what, in the jargon of a great Minneapolitan, I will only call “The Store Formerly Known As The Bon Marche.”

    I remember going to The Bon (and Frederick & Nelson) as a kid on a visit to Seattle. My mom used to speak of it fondly, and it was one of the sister stores whose credit cards were displayed on placards at Donaldsons in Minneapolis, when they were both owned by Allied Stores. To find myself actually at The Bon Marche was a thrill.

    Federated says they will at least retain the big brass Marshall Field and Company plates on State Street. After Dayton’s became Field’s, every trace of the old name vanished from the downtown store’s exterior—even painted signs on the back of the building that had been fading away peacefully for decades. It was as if there had never been a Dayton’s. I was stunned.
