MR. HODGES NOW ON ^
trip through the west
Luther H. Hodges, Vice-President
and General Manager, who is on a
lengthy business trip through the west,
writes glowingly of the beauty of our
West Coast and Canada.
He states that the name “Marshall
Field & Co.” is so well known and re
spected that in many cases it acted as
an “open sesame”. It sho'uld be a mat
ter of pride to us, who manufacture
these products, that our Fieldcrest
goods merits such popularity.
Mr. Hodges, while in Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia, was given the courtesy
of the floor of Parliament, an unusual
honor, we believe. He also addressed
the Seattle Rotary club as representa
tive of the President of Rotary Inter
national.
He was enthusiastic over the man
ner in which people and stores spoke
of our products and seems convinced
that We have an even greater future
before us.
