Giving a brief introduction about the supermarket chain, this CEO and spokesman used humor and specific descriptions as clear cut examples of eight trends he sees affecting our economy, our country, our advertising, and our buying habits. The first trend affecting Ameri cans today happened 45 years ago with the post-WWII baby boom. “There are more people over PIG SAVER “DUTCH CRATE” Developed throuf h taatlng In our ■eaaaroh feme the pool wee te develop e crate the! nearly allml notee cruehlng, duo to ley one, unmatched durability and ba aaay te work around.

In the 1950 s and 19605, baby boomers were wear ing tight jeans. "The makers of Levi’s recognized the aging trend and introduced what?” Noddle said. “Levi Dockers, the casual, loose fitting slacks with gathers in the front They’re the number-one selling men’s pants in America.” The growing ethnicity of our country was Noddle’s third trend.
