Thanks, [MENTION=202349]SpeedofLite[/MENTION]! Great stuff.
This article and the one on Schwinn, both from 1986, sound really cheery about the financial prospects of these two companies. But, was it just 10 years later that they eventually failed? What happened? Asian imports at lower prices (though the Japanese manufacturers would stop exporting or fold up by 1996-ish)? Major drop in sales? Major incompetence? Mergers and acquisitions?
