Mr. Hubert. How long did that last?
Mr. Ruby. That lasted until June 1956.
Mr. Hubert. Well, what was the occasion of breaking that up, or what happened?
Mr. Ruby. We manufactured a product that wasn’t engineered or designed properly and we had a lot of rejects and we were having to pay freight both ways and—— Mr. Hubert. What was the product?
Mr. Ruby. It was this plastic spinner that you see on these wires in front of service stations and used car lots and the weather—when they are spinning around would force them to crack in half and they would fall on the cars and maybe damage them and they weren’t satisfied with them and we found out later that this man who made our mould for us didn’t design it properly.
Mr. Hubert. Where are Lasser and Weisbrod now, do you know?
Mr. Ruby. They are partners in the wholesale distributing business of sunglasses.
Mr. Hubert. In what city?
Mr. Ruby. In Dallas—I believe the name is Mode (spelling) M-o-d-e, Imports.
Mr. Hubert. Do you have occasion to see those people frequently?
