In addition, Mr. Shedd served on
enormous civic bodies and charity
boards.
In January, 1923, Mr. Shedd retired
as president and was named honor
ary chairman of the board. He was
succeeded in active control of the
busines by James Stimpson, who en
tered the store as an office boy in
1891
Six years after his first appearance
in, the Field establishment in Chicago,
young Shedd returned to his native
town of Alstead, N. H., to marry
Mary R. Porter, whom he had met
while clerking in the town’s dry
goods store several years before.
Two daughters, Mrs. Laura Shedd
Schw'eppe and Mrs. Helen Shedd
Reed, make their homes in Chicago.
Mr. Shedd was the first Chicago
merchant to establish the half-holiday
on Saturday.
Until his withdrawal from active
management of the business, Mr.
Shedd spent much of his time walk
ing about the store, “watching for
men.” He would wralk incognito up
one isle and down another watching
salesmen in their dealings with cus
tomers, scrutinizing the transactions
from a distance to the most minute
detail. When he saw an unusual act
of courtesy or overheard an attrac
tive bit of sales talk he would mark
his man, send for him for an inter
view, grade him and file the name in a
little card index marked for promo
tion. Many of the present executives
of the store were picked by this pro
cess
One of the first questions asked of
a prospective employe in the Field
establishment was concerning his aim
in life. If he had no specific goal lii
mind he usually was passed for the
applicant whose rudder was set.
In explaining this policy, Mr. Shedd
used to say that “most men are more
concerned about their start than
their finish. The man or woman who
is going to get anywhere in the world
has his eye on the goal, not on the
starting line.”
Mr. Shedd’s winter home was “The
Blossoms,” one of the show places of
Pasadena, California, which he pur
chased from Adolphus Busch in 1917.
W. J. McDonald, district forester,
this division, Chugach National For
