Is today's POD from '55, or exactly which year - do we know?
That's the same model dishwasher I have but am not sure what year it is.

I think it's odd that F&P are claiming to have invented the dish drawer, when clearly the drawer type roll out dishwashers have been around for decades.

Bob it's from a 1956 Ad.

The space savers are really neat, but that wash and dry is cool too! I wonder how many are still around?

Does F&P claim blanket invention of drawer-style dishwashers? Or is it the design of two separate drawers in a single cabinet?

first drawer claim

I couldn't find that claim in print on the internet, but I'm sure I heard those words spoken in their television advertisement just this morning.

I'm guessing that although roll out dishwashers have been around for a long time, the idea of a 2 drawer model is unique to F&P.

I'll try to pay better attention to the ad and their claim next time I see it.

I Love these Pictures

What make of vacuum cleaner is the hiding in the closet next to the space saving stack unit. Does anyone have that vacuum in their collection? I love these vintage Laundry and Kitchen pictures.

Bob, I am pretty sure that it is a Westinghouse, I have never seen one in person but seem to remember pictures. You know, "You Can Be Sure If It's Westinghous"

I think all the appliances are westinghouse ie: the iron, behind the side by side spacemates isnt that a westy oven too, with the bottom controls. (the built in oven). alr2903.

westinghouse spacemates

This is the set I have (or close) they do a good job but are pretty small. It's great for small extra loads but I would hate to have to do a big family wash in them.
