Jim has been with AMC (department store merchandisers) since 1948, immediately after graduating from college. Beginning in the men's shoe department, he was later named a buyer, and in 1957 was promoted to his present post where he has responsibilities of representing the wholesale corporation in the areas of women's ready-to-ear, infants' and children's and men's and boys' wear.
