Interesting story CityDesk, thanks for sharing.
I recall reading that manufacturers thought the GIs returning home would associate their name on (whatever piece of equipment) and fondly remember "it" saved their life, made it easier or whatever...then they would go out and buy one (car)
Kind of a "delayed" marketing theory to the troops overseas. This was forward thinking, imo, and may be why they DID make the posters and ads illustrating the equipment they made.
