Behind the Cobweb Analysis on Demand for Manufactured Goods
The American Appraisal Company reports studies by various agencies showing a vast hidden market for manufactured goods behind consumer fear. It notes a three year purchase restriction, cites 1919 revival after wartime bans, and warns employment and unemployment dynamics will expand demand once restrictions lift. John Clough plans a large brick and steel project at Main and Centen. The Graybar Electric Company and Business Week estimate a market potentially tens of billions of dollars, with the public sensing a flood of demand once cobweb fears dissipate. The piece argues the market exists but is restrained by ephemeral fear and misperceptions about job security and income.
