Hartmarx is the parent company of Hart, Schaffner & Marx, a well-known apparel manufacturer, and several other clothing companies. The company’s primary line of business is designing, assembling, and marketing premium quality suits for men and women. In 1954 the company took over Society Brand, a major manufacturing house. Ten years later Hart, Schaffner & Marx added Hickey-Freeman, a premium brand. The company acquired Jaymar-Ruby in 1967 and, in 1969, added M. Wile. Hart, Schaffner & Marx made many acquisitions between 1966 and 1969. One night in 1966, television host Johnny Carson walked on stage to deliver his nightly Tonight Show monologue wearing a turtle neck sweater and a collarless Nehru jacket. Within a week the nation’s stores had been depleted of both items, and Carson had unwittingly established himself as a fashion trendsetter. Celebrity endorsements were not new, but the episode demonstrated to many the value of using stars to introduce new styles.
