I love these vintage trade periodical magazines. So after finding both Electrical Merchandising and Appliance Manufacturer magazines I thought I had uncovered all of the cool appliance trade magazines, well low and behold I just found another one that I never heard of. Electrical Dealer Magazine was very similar to Electric Merchandising in large Life-magazine format, with great ads and articles.
I just added the October 1952 Silver Anniversary Issue to the Ephemera Library. It has a wonderful 20 page pictorial review of the history and significant developments in Appliances: Washers, Dryers, Ironers, Hot Water Heaters, Ranges, Refrigerators, Dishwashers, Vacuum Cleaners, Fans, Air Conditioners, Food Mixers, Housewares, Sewing Machines, Electric Blankets, Clocks, Electric Kitchens, Irons, Toasters, Radios, Television. For the Automatic Washer, they show the invoice of the very first sale of the Bendix Automatic Washer in 1937! Someone of the earliest dryers they show look like something from another planet. Great full pages ads include: ABC-O-Matic Automatic Washer Speed Queen Dryer and Wringer Washer Laundry Queen "Truly" Automatic Washer Bendix Washer and Dryer Apex Automatic Washer and Dishwasher Tide's Frigidiare Washer Promotion Dexter Wringer Washers Woman's Friend Wringer Washers Whirlpool Washer and Dryer showing both St. Joseph and Clyde Plants Thor Automatic and Semi-Automatic Washers Easy Spindrier Washers and Easy Wringer Hamilton Dryers American Kitchens Dishwasher Crosley Dishwasher |
