John W, I can remember in the Illinois and other mid-west states we had a chain of Famous-Barr stores that must have been similar to your Hecht's stores. Macy's purchased them and they were never the same. Macy's spent a lot of money just changing brands, signs and etc. I'm no expert on such things but It might have been better for Macy's to own the stores but keep the regional names.
