Hello Everyone ..
This is from SHORPY the text says: Washington, D.C., 1936. "Dept. of Interior exhibit -- kitchen at all electric farm." An early manifestation of the government's push for rural electrification, three years after the Tennessee Valley Authority was created by act of Congress.

The farmer's wife was more than willing to put up with the various limitations imposed by these appliances in trade for the work they saved her. We were poised on the edge of a wonderful era and lost over fifty million lives in such a short time. Wow. We lost material things to the war, too - automation and really well designed appliances were already on the drawing boards, ready to go when it all got shoved back for more than a decade. |

. . . a farmers wife's shoes would have a bit of muck on them. At least they're not pumps! She reminds me of Harpo Marx. |
