General Foods had carried the burden of the industry for years without making a penny of profit, but World War II shot the industry's business up to 1 billion Ibs. in 1945. Suddenly the get-rich attractions were so strong that fly-by-night outfits rushed out poor-quality products, gave frozen foods a bad name with the public.
