Future Past

The Wall Street Journal does its own take on Future Past. I particularly like this 1925 prediction by the cheese tycoon James Lewis Kraft,

I do not suppose anyone else ever planned a cheese business to live through the ages. After we are gone, there will be Kraft salesmen trekking the veldt of Africa, braving the snows of Siberia and battling the superstitions of Mongolia -- all earnestly striving to increase sales.

At least you have to admire his sense of focus.
