Yes, because society continued to experience that alleged "rapid growth of badminton."

FWIW, I can remember my grandparents bemoaning the fact that badminton was no longer as popular as it had been when they were young - which would have been the 30s and 40s. The ad's still a scam, but way less implausible than it looks from a 2015 perspective.
