Hoving, Walter (1897–1989) retail executive; born in Stockholm, Sweden. He emigrated to the U.S.A. as a child. During his long career in merchandising he became known for his impeccable taste and high standards. He was president of Lord & Taylor, New York (1936–46), then founded Hoving Corporation (1946), which owned Bonwit Teller and Tiffany and Co. As chairman of Tiffany's (1955–80) he restored the store's faded cachet and profitability.
