Thanks to all for your input. There is/are some common life history and/or happenings that most of us likely share more than we may ever know.
When I had my high-end furniture store, Stickley was one of our many brands. We sold the best from Scandinavia (mainly Denmark), Italy and America. Over the years the best thing I could do to maintain that stores success was to keep up with the changing tastes/wants of the "Boomers". Early they wanted what was "leading edge...cool" hence some of the Danish from some of the best designers/architects....later as that generation aged, many started to want their home's interiors look like "old money"...be it fake or not....so it became more Henredon, Baker and the like. I guess now if I were trying to keep with with the Boomers, I would own some chain mortuaries, and yes those will make a great deal of money as the "Boomers" die off.....hope their kids know how to take care of those "special pressings".
