...progress. But the recession made many businessmen see that they had carried it too far. Too many models are worse than too few, have cost both manufacturer and consumer some of the benefits of mass production, e.g., lower prices, ease of production.

Ford brought out its 1959 Edsel this week with a face lifting, but it carefully redesigned the whole selling pitch for its one-year-old youngster. Instead of competing with medium-priced cars, as originally planned, Edsel is now aimed at the low-priced buyer.

Despite numerous exhortations on the part of L.L. and the disk-jockeys, Lester's music did not seem to move the populace to a spirit of dancing. Indeed, there were probably no more than ten people dancing in the entire square, two of which Vag noticed rocking to a medium-pace Lanin fox-trot. After this set was completed, followed again by a deafening silence, a long line of state and local celebrities filed onto the bandstand to say a few ungrammatical sentences to the assembly. Most nobable among them was perhaps Mayor Phil Des-Rosiers who welcomed...
