Marshall Field Co Faces Fire and Tax Questions in Chicago
A Chicago Tribune readers letter questions Marshall Field & Co. over fire safety and tax practices. It cites a wholesale block with a single Adams street door serving more than five thousand daily entrants, asks why no fire escapes exist, and accuses the firm of special privilege while urging enforcement of laws on rich and poor alike. It also links Harvester Trust, Standard Oil, and traction firms to broader reform.
