Strange Business……
This is one of those things that I’ve wondered about for quite some time and just can’t figure out…… You would think that the biggest business’s in Oklahoma would be in horses, cattle, or oil production, but, it would appear not….. Almost every other commercial on local TV and radio stations are from new car dealerships and new furniture outlets…… I think we have more of both in Oklahoma City alone than in Seattle and New York combined….. Just how many new cars and expensive furniture does a person buy in a lifetime?…… I personally have only purchased one new car in my lifetime and that was “way back when” they were reasonably priced…….. It would seem that the market would dissipate in a short time with the overabundance of suppliers and the high cost of a new vehicle or a quality piece of furniture. A person would not tend to replace such an expensive item on a regular basis…… Apparently they do with all the money the dealers sink into advertisement and promotions….. Or do they?….. I wonder if they are just a front for some other strange business ventures?…. Just a thought……

Do you suppose that Steve Bailey could be laundering drug money ? And maybe the Mattress Brothers are in prostitution.

I have thoughts along that line myself, RtG…… I mean, most of these dealerships cover about 40 acres and have huge lavish showrooms and extra large amounts of inventory stock…… They are definitely “Big Business” in size…… It seems that they would have to do a large amount of “turn-over” just to stay in business….. It does make one wonder……
