Just weeks before the U.S. presidential election of 1932, this column appeared in a political magazine indicating the mood of the voters following three years of economic disasters brought on by the Great Depression.

• “I BELIEVE the average American has gotten over the yen for a two-car garage and that he now feels four tires were always enough for any working man to worry over.”
