Much of it was included with other purchases during the Depression (as in Great Economic Depression of 1929-1941) and the style continued to a degree afterwards, until WW2 ended the economic Depression and reworked the economy.

It's because people don't capitalize "Depression"and realize it's a term for sa period that they think of its more common meaning.
