1947 ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR AD

1955 GAS REFRIGERATOR

Gas refrigerators never became as popular as electric refrigerators for several reasons, including the gas refrigerators use of dangerous chemicals, but the major reason was they didn't have the money to advertise as much as manufacturers of electric refrigerators. This ad is from a 1955 Life magazine, it was only a partial page ad, nothing like the multi-page electric refrigerators ads of the time.

1946 REFRIGERATOR AD

After WWII pent-up consumer demand exploded and manufacturers met the challenge. The new refrigerators were very different from the 1930's models.

1920'S NEW SENSATION

This ad from the 1920's of electric waffle maker is actually pretty interesting. Did they serve waffles at elegant dinner parties in the 1920's or did housewives dress in evening gowns to make breakfast?
