During the Chicago flames dozens of merchants
whose stores went up in smoke stood near the
smoldering embers of their former policies of
business, grieving over their loss. Many of them
decided to go away into other cities and start over
again. In the group was Marshall Field, who saw, in
his own "imagination," the world's greatest retail
store, policies on the selfsame stance where his
former store had stood, which was then but a ruined
mass of smoking timbers. That store became a
reality.
Fortunate is the pups man or puppy hens who
learns, early in life, to utility imagination, and doubly
so in this years of greater opportunity.
