I like that 1936 Westinghouse kitchen really well, but a mirror above a range would always be a mess. | ||

Having a mirror behind the stove is good feng shui. I believe its supposed to reflect wealth back into the home or something like that. I agree it does get dirty, but we have three small mirrors on the wall behind our stove. I don’t know if its made a difference, but we do have a happy home, LOL.

Great advertisments/pictures
Could it be possible? Reply #26 shows a "new small family model" 1929 GE Monitor top fridge at the "very low price of $215.00". Inflation calculator equates $215.00 in 1929 to
$3,170.26 today! A 1374.5% rate of inflation increase. The numbers might say such but I've often wondered how close to true comparisons made this way are to real life at the time. Using the GE as an example if one said in 1929 that it cost $215.00 would it have really meant the same then as saying something cost $3,170.26 in 2018? One thing for sure. You got more refrigerator for $215.00 in 1929 than you would refrigerator for $3,170.26 in 2018. How many refrigerators made today will still be working 89 years from now? | ||

Hard to make an apples to apples comparison
But average household income in 1929 was about $15k per.
www.pbs.org/fmc/book/9mon... To put it another way only about 2% of American households in 1929 earned > $10k per year. The largest groups were $1,000-$1,500 (21%) and $1,500 to $2,000 at 18%. Thus clearly anything that cost $214 was a serious expenditure. www.gilderlehrman.org/con... You can see here things weren't that much better in early 1930's either: www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/f... Then you have this: "The Great Depression, despite all the hardships of the American people, would see the meteoric rise of the refrigerator. At the start of the 1930s, just 8 percent of American households owned a mechanical refrigerator. By the end of the decade, it had reached 44 percent. The refrigerator came to be one of the most important symbols of middle class living in the United States. While the upper class rarely interacted with such appliances, given the fact that they had servants, the middle class woman of the 1930s lived in a "servantless household"—a phrase you see repeatedly in scholarship about this era. The refrigerator was tied to one of the most fundamental and unifying of middle class events: the daily family meal. And it was in providing for your family that the refrigerator became a point of pride." psmag.com/environment/the-rise-o... This merges with one has read in period women's magazines of the day such as House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, etc.... The average educated (even if only high school and or perhaps college) was lectured, admonished, preached to, and in general all sorts of chidings to get her to preserve the health and safety of her family. One of the ways she could do this was via electricity and the mod cons it offered. Primary on this list was refrigeration. Ice boxes were all very well but didn't keep foods always at proper temperatures, and forget about freezing anything for long term storage. Consequently cases of food borne illness ranging from a minor tummy to things far worse were common. That and or foods were constantly being rubbished from going bad, even in the ice box. As above article notes there was also a bit of "Hyacinth Bucket" in all this. Adverts reflected real life in that Mrs. Andrew Jones couldn't wait to show off her new electric fridge to Mrs. Louis Bourbon and the rest of the "girls". Who likely promptly went home and began getting at their husbands to get them the same. Never underestimate the power of "two tarts in the kitchen" for advertising. For households that couldn't pay for a new fridge in cash, even back then there were payment plans and store charge accounts. Also (IIRC) as we were discussing in another thread local electric utility companies also often had all sorts of deals/special financing for appliances. Again they would, wouldn't they? Even selling a fridge at slightly lower prices they would still make their money each month on electric bills. | ||

Reply #57: Had that mid-50s GE television in college. My stepfather gave it to me; it had been mounted on a wall in his workshop for years. Not a scratch on it. It survived five years with me at college then came home again and was used for a few more years before it was replaced with a color set. A workhorse!
Louis: As always, thanks for taking the time to share these with us. What better way to spend a crisp, sunny Sunday morning than with a cup of coffee and vintage ads? | ||

$19.95 for a GE Hand Mixer in 1955
wasn’t exactly economical. The average yearly wage in 1955 was $3301.44 or $63.49 per week. Hence, the average worker would have had to work over 1/3 of the week to afford that handy little GE mixer. No wonder my Mom said we didn’t need one.
Nevertheless, they are a cunning little kitchen appliance. But, the Chinese crap we buy today is more affordable, if not more durable. You can’t have everything I guess. Eddie CLICK HERE TO GO TO ea56's LINK | ||

I think the GE hand mixer would be MORE durable than the Chinese "crap" we buy today.The mixer may have been high priced in its day-but would have been MORE long term durable than ones we can buy today--will the mixer bought today still be around and working 20,50 yrs from today??? | ||

re GE hand mixer I have several of these, mine are white and turquoise, I never saw a pink or yellow one, now I have something else to hunt, yes, they still work wonderfully, they are much better built than any portable today, the gears run is a sealed case full of grease unlike the very cheap junk today. | ||
