Behind Federated and Allied among U.S. chains, it moved closer to second place last spring by acquiring stock control of Oregon's Meier & Frank, a move that caused a bitter battle with Los Angeles' Broadway-Hale. Last week it moved still closer. Long concentrated in the Midwest and West, May moved into the populous Northeast for the first time by buying, for $41 million, Hartford's 118-year-old G. Fox & Co.
