Chicken pot

After 8 years of republicans in the White House during the 20's, Hoover came along in 1928 pledging a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage. Hoover got 444 electoral votes in a landslide victory. The economy was roaring and here is part of a newspaper ad.

And placed the whole nation in the silk stocking class. The following year the Great Depression hit and went on for ten years.
