...largest U.S. department-store chain. Federated's 60 outlets include New York City's Abraham & Straus and Bloomingdale's, Boston's Filene's, Miami's Burdine's and Houston's Foley's. Last week President Ralph Lazarus, 50, interrupted a Hawaiian vacation to negotiate a deal that will add to his chain the 23 stores (including fashionable I.

Every morning, 6,000 Ibs. of Denver steaks are jet-flown to Phoenix, 20,000 Ibs. of Hawaiian papaya fly to West Coast markets, and a Manhattan shop, Cheese Unlimited, puts on sale oven-fresh brioches and croissants jet-lifted in from Paris...
Similarly, it used to take six days to transfer a load of passenger cars off Matson's Hawaiian Motorist; the ship can now dock, unload and be back at sea in seven hours. Where 14-man gangs worked twelve shifts to load cargo containers into a Matson ship, a ten-man gang can now perform the complete loading job in just two shifts...
