SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBFR10,1975 HOPING i iPAWS_ JfL By EstelleAttwell Very low on the scale of humanity is the person who abandons an animal or a litter of kittens or puppies, or the mother and her litter. All of these things have happened, though. Admittedly, it may be dif­ ficult to Fimtra new home for cats and dogs; kittens and puppies. And it Jdoes entail some expense and effort on the part of owners to find satisfactory homes or some other decent solution. But dumping helpless animals is a coward's way out. Not only do the animals suffer, but it creates problems for others who happen to be conscientious about their responsibilities, and indignant over mistreatment of animals. Surely those owners knew that nature would take its course and the outcome would be puppies and kittens Gnless restraint was practiced. Responsible pet owners foresee this situation and take their pets to the vet for spaying and neutering; or prevent them from running loose. Any other way unless you are a professional breeder or will take fulf responsibility for medical expense and placing the offspring, is a terrible in­ justice to the animals and a tax burden to everyone else. If the blame can be fixed, it's generally undertood that it's the irresjaphsible owners who have caused the mischief. The least they can do is advertise to place the animals, or consult Helping Paws or some other animal welfare agency, or take them to a shelter and pay whatever fee is required to m a k e s a t i s f a c t o r y arrangements. Even if the animals have to.be destroyed, it's far more humane to do this than to turn them 4 loose to freeze, die of starvation, or be killed or maimed by cars. There are some fine animals for adoption at the county shelter, 11608 Banford road, Woodstock, phone 338-7040. Hours are 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. And Helping Paws has the animals listed below for" adoption. The Helping Paws office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 to noon and from 1 to 3 p.tft.

Nineteenth-century Chicago shoppers bought clothing and trinkets at Marshall Field's dry goods store, and occasionally received social and moral lead­ ership as well. Field was born in New York in 1834, and came to Chicago in 1856. Beginning his career as a $400-per-year clerk in the mercantile house of Cooley, Wadsworth and Co., Field quickly worked his way up to a partnership. In 1865 Levi Leiter and Field joined the merchandising firm of Potter Palmer. Palmer withdrew in 1867, and when Field bought out Leiter in 1881, the whole­ sale-retail business officially be­ came Marshall Field and Co. More than most of the lake city's industrialists, meat-pack­ ers, bankers, and speculators who acquired fabulous wealth after the Civil War, his name became synonomous with Chicago. At the outset, the business was primarily a wholesale house, with retail sales about one fifth of the total. In 1872 the retail business was sepa­ rated from the wholesale busi­ ness; and in 1873 the retail store was located at its present location, State and Washington streets. Field introduced new mer­ chandise to Chicago, and en­ deavored to become the sole outlet for specialty and im­ ported items. The retail store stressed customer service, liber­ al credit, purchase on approval, and friendly exchange. When credit was extended, payment was expected on the exact date due. Frequently, large invento­ ries were purchased at low prices and a demand created for them through advertising. The company eventually ac­ quired its own manufacturing establishment to make some of the items it sold. An innova­ tion was the department-store, customer restaurant. Shoppers flocked to Fields, attracted by the prices, exclu­ sive buys unavailable elsewhere in the Middle West, and the intangible good feeling of shopping in the store. By 1881 sales totaled $25,000,000 a year, and before Field's death in 1907 they reached $68,000,000. Field's dry-goods operation was the largest in the United States, perhaps in the world. Normally quiet, reserved, and unobtrusive, Field lent his tremendous personal prestige to a variety of causes. He was at the forefront of such civic reform groups as the Citizens Association, giving both time and money. As a member of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, Field helped distribute relief to victims of the Chica­ go Fire in 1871; and he was named to the committee whidh investigated the insurance com­ panies claiming bankruptcy as a result of the fire. In 1877 he helped establish the Citizen's League to fight the sale of liquor to minors, and was one of the founders of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Among his principal philanthropies were the University of Chicago, to whtfdh he donated a 10-acre site, and the Columbian Muse­ um which later became the Field Museum of Natural His­ tory. His opposition helped block clemency for the Haymarket anarchists, but with that nota­ ble exception Marshall Field helped lift the social con­ science and cultural level of the city his store helped to clothe. His magnificent monument in Graceland Cemetery - flanked by others bearing the names of McCormick, Pullman, Armour, Swift, and Morris - stands as a reminder of the wealth he cre­ ated. Christmas day 1975: the loneliest day of the year for those in prisons, nursing homes and hospitals - unless someone cares. The Salvation Army does. Its holiday visits, gifts and turkey dinners help keep alive the beauty and spirit of Christ's Birthday. w j "hornsby S n fam.ly <en^ ^ PRICES EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY thru SUNDAY W* acc»pt Mastorcharg* and Bankam*ricard Charge Cards.
