Body by Fisher and the car age obsession
A fragmented essay compares the Fisher automobile body slogan to human appearance trends, arguing straight lines and youth ideals shape both cars and people. It critiques consumer culture, noting dieting, cosmetics, and jaw dropping fashion as society’s push for a flawless, youthfully straight figure. The piece links automotive design to human form, warning against chasing image and urging acceptance of natural variation. It also includes a 1928 Pleasant Companion 4-H meeting note from Sidney township with officer elections and party plans.
