Eve’s Tree Ensemble Sets Pace In Chicago
Eve’s Tree, Fieldcrest’s latest pattern
in coordinated sheets, towels, blankets
and bath accessories, is setting the pace
in high fashion domestics at Marshall
Field & Company in Chicago.
Chicago area consumers’ first glimpse
of the new group was late in Septem
ber when the various items were illu
strated in color in Field’s fall 1958
Homemaker book—a book with a dis
tribution of 400,000.
Shown in the book in blue and high
lighted in the same color in subse
quent floor displays, the new group
has been selling best in that color, it
was reported.
To follow up the initial impact of
the book. Field’s ran a half-page ad
early in October showing the three
basic sections—sheets, towels, blankets
—complementing the ad with a window
display and individual in-store dis
plays.
Part of the success of the pattern is
considered to be due to the fact that
consumers have been educated to the
fact that at various times of the year,
new fashion patterns are brought out
and that consumers look forward to
them eagerly.
