In a proud statement issued from their company headquarters in Mt. Vernon, Missouri, Missouri Carbide, Inc. announced that 2019 is the 46th Anniversary of the founding of their business.
The company was started back in 1979, the same year one of our biggest businesses, Chrysler Corporation, was asking for a $1 billion bail-out.
Former screen star and Governor of California, Ronald Reagan, announced his bid for the presidency.
All heads turned and history was made when Margaret Thatcher became the first woman Prime Minister of England. And in Chicago, the city elected its first woman mayor, Jane Byrne, with the largest majority vote in that city since 1901.
What else happened in 1979?
Music lovers were sitting in front of their stereos listening to What a FoolBelieves, 52nd Street, My Sharona, and Dionne Warwick singing I’ll Never Love That Way Again.
The rockin’ musical Grease gave its 3,243rd performance and became the longest-running musical on Broadway at that time.
