Jim, just my reflections. At this point in time, with the development and sprawl of new suburbia, many builders went with a manufacturer's appliance package, particularly with the new-fangled built-ins. That was dominated by Westinghouse & GE, which both still had this style of dishwasher. Youngstown still had top loading dishwashers. Hotpoint had a frontload. Not sure how prevalent American Kitchens was. KitchenAid was the leader in front opening dishwashers, but how many could afford a KitchenAid. Frigidaire had begun selling their own in 1955 or 1956. Dishwashers were still quite a significant luxury. And I think, that was still the case in 1956. GE didn't offer this first front load dishwasher until 1961 or 1962. Westinghouse 1962 or 1963. It was still quie accepted in 1955 or 1956 dishwashers were toploading. |
