I know what you mean. My parents bought all their white goods at a great store called Hampton Sales that was on the corner of Park Avenue South and 28th street(it's now a Walgreens). It was back in the day when you knew the salesman and he was YOUR salesman. They were a GE/Hotpoint dealer so there were rows of washers, dishwashers and dryers in the center of the floor, just like in your picture,refrigerators lining the room, with TV sets on the walls and small appliances in the back. All in all they must have bought 11 different appliances from that store between 1961 and 1970. The last store in NYC even close to that would be Gracie Hardware uptown on 3rd Avenue.
