- <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.
