We're going to talk about it, because even though it didn't really take long after Roosevelt's hunt in 1902 for the toy to become a full-blown craze, most people figured it was a fad, it was a sort of silly political novelty item and it would go away once the president left office, and so by 1909, when Roosevelt's successor, William Howard Taft, was getting ready to be inaugurated, the toy industry was on the hunt for the next big thing.
Mi ćemo o njoj govoriti, jer iako nije trebalo puno vremena poslije Rooseveltova lova 1902. da igračka postane apsolutni hit, većina ljudi smatrala je da je to prolazni hir, neka vrsta političkog noviteta koji će završiti kada predsjedniku istekne mandat. Do 1909. godine, kada se Rooseveltov nasljednik, William Howard Taft, pripremao za inauguraciju, industrija igračaka tražila je sljedeću veliku ideju.
