Negotiations are under way to acquire Bonwit Teller's present site on Chicago's North Michigan Avenue, where a Magnin's is expected to open in late 1971. Others will follow on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, in New York City's shinier suburbs and in Palm Beach, Grosse Pointe, Atlanta and other places where $1,000 cloth coats and $500 dresses move fast. Magnin's planners expect to increase the current $100 million annual sales and to generate enough business...
