An emporium larger than Marshall Field’s (Fiction Memoir)

The Complete History of Adam Panflick:

"As the 20th century drew near, Stanley helped Martin move into dry goods. The idea was if you did not have a monopoly, a giant store might do. The younger Panflick succeeded royally, working first in remodeled warehouses in downtown Cleveland. He peddled everything from lingerie to children’s games to porch furniture. Stanley rewarded him by building what was then the tallest edifice between Chicago and New York. The first six floors housed Panflick’s, an emporium larger than Marshall Field’s."
