...traditional Wurlitzer, retails for below $2,000, in contrast to $3,960 for the company's standard models. In June, the company contracted with a Korean piano manufacturer, Young Chang, to design and build grand pianos, which are now for sale in the U.S. under the Wurlitzer label. One bright spot is the company's European division, which primarily markets coin-operated jukeboxes and vending machines. Revenues have climbed from $7.2 million in 1975 to $13.7 million this year...
...STORY is a familiar one in modern America. A small business with an excellent product becomes wildly popular. To keep up with outrageous demand, the owners eventually expand, mass produce, and create a "label." Things are never quite the same again. Witness the saga of Ray Kroc's old hamburger stand or Mr. L.L. Bean's barn up in Freeport. Steve's resisted the clutches of materialistic expansionism for several years, sticking it out in original digs in Somerville...

In more traditional groups this kind of behavior may be shunned in public, but in such situations analogous behavior will occur in private...
...displaying of the label could become de rigeur in the early stages of a relationship--possibly during advanced "foreplay." In those ethnic and hyper-traditional groups in which a suitor asks for a woman's hand in marriage, he might be required to bring a sampling of his under things for the parents to peruse. And, in the case of seduction, underwear will probably prove the source of considerable stress and depression. A woman who wakes to find that her paramour wears Caldor generics could experience severe self-doubt and fear of ostracism from her peer group. Psychotherapists should take...
