...apparel giant yet comes near the giants in other industries, but two, Jonathan Logan and Bobbie Brooks, are jostling to crack $100 million in annual sales for the first time. Led by sharp, hard-driving David Schwartz, Logan last year reached $81 million; Maurice Saltzman's Bobbie Brooks was close behind at $75.5 million. Ranged well below them but growing fast is a $20 million to $30 million tier that includes Majestic Specialties, Russ Togs and White Stag, and a third echelon that is working upward from the $10 million plateau...

Moreover, though total profits have increased 69% since 1955, per-share earnings have tailed off from $2.31 to $2.14-partly because Genesco issued new stock to acquire many of its subsidiaries. Genesco is currently lumping three of its retail men's-apparel chains into one overhead-cutting group, and Jarman predicts that per-share earnings will be up 50% to 75% within seven years.
