Back from the days when companies could (and did) get away with using
scantly clad models to promote their 'hard' ware. Ridgid used to issue
some outrageous calendars.

I must resemble that statement.

Those calendars were tastefully done, and have earned a place in Americana.

First thing Emerson did after purchasing Rigid was to discontinue the
calendar.

My associate made a sales calls a couple of days after the announcement.

It was not a happy place.

Seems customers were registering their thoughts with customer service
and the word travelled fast around the place.

Turned out to be a precursor of things to come.
