Check this out! I knew I had seen an ad for the round GE portable dishwasher that I recently added to my collection somewhere. This ad came from a May, 1950 National Geographic from my father's collection (yes, it appears to run in the family - heaven help my nieces...)

"Interesting"

The ad is for the round portable and yet the "free demonstration" graphic has a retangular/square dishwasher pictured--the free-standing model.

But by the picture they say see the "great new GE automatic dishwasher" which was the free standing or electric sink model, not the portable which was not automatic.

Hmmm. I didn't notice that... Perhaps the 'mad men' at GE figured the square free-standing model was more recognizable than the 'new' round portable. Bet they didn't actually bring one to your house for the demo! LOL
Now that I think about it, the user book I have for the 58 Mobile Maid stated that the new dishwasher owner was 'entitlted to a free in-home demonstration'. Set the Wayback Machine to 1956, Sherman, 'cause that would be my Dream Job!! LOL
