...that the beet industry is the nucleus of your prosperity in this county; and I want to say to you that that is one of the crops we can grow in America, and I am in favor of giving it every protection." Fort Morgan and Sterling set the pattern for Governor Landon's rear-end appearances as his special carried him eastward. At State lines droves of local politicians got off and got on the Landon train, each with his message of good cheer and GOP success in November. If possible, at each stop Governor Landon tried...

When grief overtook the radio business in 1929, Zenith fell with saving promptness into the pattern of retrenchment. A new midget radio was developed for the low-price market, the cabinet division was closed down, and President McDonald slugged its overhead. By the time the first light of Recovery was visible, however, Zenith had accumulated a deficit of $750,000. Then President McDonald began to expand...
