?To further differentiate May's home merchandise, Mr. Kahn announced a
licensing agreement has been signed with Hearst Magazines to jointly
market a wide selection of home merchandise under the House Beautiful
trademark. The merchandise ? which ranges from home décor to textiles
to dinnerware ? will debut in May's 362 full-line department stores
beginning in 2005. "This alliance further positions our stores to
stand out from the competition and, equally important, complements our
Bridal Group and department store wedding registry businesses," he
said.?
