Or business: he is heir to a Memphis real estate fortune, owns two soft-drink bottling plants in Oregon.

To attract younger shoppers, all three major catalogues now lead with sophisticated styles. To make their clothes "in," counteract the year's lead time they must contend with, and gain more of the market, Wards and Penney have signed up name designers. Wards (last year's total sales: $1.8 billion) has twelve international designers, among them Jacques Heim, Rudi Gernreich, Fabiani and Clodagh of Dublin. J. C. Penney...
