<p> DIED. NORTON SIMON, 86, industrialist; in Bel-Air, California.
Starting with a few thousand dollars invested in an orange-juice
bottler, Simon built the worldwide consumer-products conglomerate
Norton Simon Inc., whose brands included Hunt's tomato sauce
and catsup and Canada Dry sodas. But in addition to selling
orange juice, Simon amassed one of the largest, most varied
and, objet for objet, most distinguished art collections in
the world. His 12,000 pieces, appraised at $750 million in the
late '80s, included paintings by Raph ael, Rembrandt, Renoir,
Van Gogh, Pi casso, Gauguin and Matisse, plus a huge collection
of Asian statuary. He donated many of his works to the Norton
Simon Museum in Pasadena, California.
