Broke Ground in April Ground for tne new store was broken April 22 and the work preparatory to construction of the building was rushed. July 10 the cornerstone of the store was laid. At that time the store was expected to be ready for occupancy about Dec. 1, but the opening preceded that date due to the rapidity with which the building was completed and the fixtures and interior decorations were installed. The new store is the first permanent home of the Evanston business of Field's, the store heretofore having been housed in leased quarters. Field's entered Evanston with a branch store carrying infants' and children's apparel Sept. 13, 1928. The store was moved to larger quarters in the Carlson annex at 620 Church street Nov. 1, 1928, and since that time growth has been rapid. Architects of the new store were Graham, Anderson. Probst and White. The John E. Ericsson company was the builder and general contractor.
