...concern with local and private affairs shows up in other ways. On a typical Saturday morning, hordes of homeowners stagger out of local lumberyards with loads of paneling, paint and bathroom fixtures for some do-it-yourself remodeling.

Four years ago, Franklin, now 45, ousted his father as company head and set about stripping Genesco of unprofitable businesses that Maxey had acquired in an unsuccessful attempt to expand sales to $2 billion a year. (They are about half that now.) Then, last week, Franklin himself was bounced in a coup organized over...
