Each year, 24/7 Wall St. identifies 10 important brands sold in America that we predict will disappear before 2014. This year's list reflects the brutally competitive nature of certain industries and the importance of not falling behind in efficiency, innovation or financing.The list also reflects how industry trends can accelerate the demise of certain brands. This year, we included two magazines — Martha Stewart Living and Road & Track. With print advertising in a multiyear decline, some magazines have weathered the decline better than others. These two, however, have suffered sharp drops in advertising revenue over the past five years.
