De Soto was at least two decades ahead of its time. Toss in bad PR, and limited advertising, and it was bound for a limited production. But the real end to the series was the economic downturn of the late 1950s. I wouldn’t call it a real recession...but things slowed down for a year or two, and car sales lagged.
I get the following messages:
Companies go out of business all the time. [shrug] Who cares? It's the way of the world. Perhaps an anti-busienss climate is no big deal.
Laborers! Workers! The Proletariat! These are what matter! We shall always have mouths to feed and people who need work! Let us celebrate the teeming masses who stand ready to produce the goods of tomorrow!
I say we are headed toward an automated world in which brands and companies will exist, but the need for workers will diminish.
I’m a big fan of American products like Food - to eat! And another big fave is Shelter. Clothing, too! I hope America keeps producing these products even though they are a bit old fashioned. I think there is still a market for them.
Yes... look at Twinkies... they are back... the UNION GOONS THAT KILLED THEM ARE NOT!
