Abstract:
Turkeys are not just for Thanksgiving and Christmas anymore.

In 1964, 4.4 million were produced with a gross income of $17.4 million. In 1984, 30.4 million were produced with a gross income of $289.1 million.

Abstract:
Rising rates in full-service motels, like Holiday Inn and Ramada Inn, have created a gap between them and the lowest motel chain, Motel 6. Enter Days Inn of America, Red Roof Inn, Super 8 Motel and others to fill the gap between the high and low places. This means big profits for two North Carolina-based economy chains - Charlotte-based Econo Lodges of America and Winston-Salem-based Cricket Inn.

Abstract:
Dee Birke and Rick Ray of Charlotte maxed out their credit cards in 1978 to buy the television rights for their first sports venture - the Great Alaska Shootout. They gambled that die-hard N.C. State basketball fans would tune in to see their team. They did, and Raycom Sports was born. It is now the country's largest sports syndication company, growing from $80,000 in net advertising sales in 1979 to a projected $30 million in 1985.
