...selling, giant Montgomery Ward & Co. made a proposal to gregarious Sol William Cantor, 50, president of the 63-link Interstate Department Stores, whose annual sales rate has climbed from $90 million to $175 million since it entered discounting in 1959. With Wall Street's Lehman Bros, playing marriage broker. Ward's intends to pick up Interstate in a $50 million stock swap. The deal makes eminent sense to Manhattan's Cantor, who gives plenty of local autonomy to managers of Interstate's 42 standard department stores, but holds "a tight rein" on its 21 discount outlets...
