Dayton's, Marshall Field's, Hudson's

Another Dayton's, see previous post, but the company now having acquired Marshall Fields, Chicago, and Hudson's, Minneapolis?

A commenter informs me that Hudson's was from Detroit. The history of the big, central city department stores, is quite interesting, and how the survivors bought up their former rivals, ... and now it's Target and Macy's I believe, with Sears a part of K-Mart.

Yes, Detroit. This label from the Klinkenborg Collection.

Closson Galleries

The Dayton Company

Newcomb-Macklin Co.

From Sue Davis, Master Framers Collection, a label from a firm whose work I've looked at, handled, worked on or borrowed from, but until now, never seen a label in the wild. I have even spent quite a few hours rummaging through the composition mold collection, Newcomb-Macklin, now owned by the Thanhardt-Burger Corporation.
