Eli Sagan
Eli Sagan (March 3, 1927 – January 4, 2015) was an American businessman who headed one of the nation's largest manufacturers of outerwear for young women, an autodidact in cultural sociology who wrote several widely reviewed books on the subject and a political activist who served on the national finance committee for George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, a role that earned him a spot on Richard Nixon's Enemies List in 1973.
==Early life and business career==
Sagan was born on March 3, 1927, in Summit, New Jersey to manufacturer George Sagan and homemaker Esther (née Gooen) Sagan. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Harvard University in 1948, ''magna cum laude'', and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society.〔"Eli Sagan", Contemporary Authors Online.

After college, he joined the family business, New York Girl Coat Co., which manufactured outerwear for young women, largely for sale to department stores.〔 The company, founded by Sagan's father George in 1916, was an early innovator in adapting assembly line techniques to the process of manufacturing coats—techniques which would become industry standards—and was one of the first in the field to build its own facilities to manufacture its clothing. By 1966, when the company celebrated its 50th anniversary, Sagan was its president. That year, ''The New York Times'' reported that the company produced 10% of all girl's coats sold in the United States, accounting for $12 million in annual sales, with Sagan targeting a 20% market share in the upcoming years.〔Barmash, Isadore. ("Coat Maker Rounds Out 50th Year; Largest in Its Field Stresses Quality and Youth" ), ''The New York Times'', August 1, 1966. Accessed January 16, 2015. "Ten years ago, when the New York Girl Coat Company reached 40, a venerable age for a garment producer, it made one of every 16 girl's coats sold in the United States. This year, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it accounts for one of every 10 girl's coats sold in the country."〕
