Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery Ward.[
May's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, adapted the story of Rudolph into a song. Gene Autry's recording of the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart the week of Christmas 1949. Autry's recording sold 2.5 million copies the first year So answer is Johnny Marks, Montgomery Ward
Picture coming
The dept. store was Montgomery Ward and it was written by Robert May.
