Early 60s GE Clothes Conditioner

Yes, but this was in the early years of having laundry appliances that could handle wash 'n wear fabrics and make them come out wrinkle free. The ads for these dryers showed a men's wash'n wear suit totally dewrinkled hanging beside the dryer in a picture. While many models of dryers today have auto dry cycles, back then it was generally the TOL and next model down only that featured auto dry and the timed cycle did not have the long cool down (except for the timed W'N W cycle on certain brands) because air fluff was either a separate cycle or one of the heat selections. Westinghouse dryers that had pushbutton heat selections had one button marked "NO" as in no heat instead of "AIR" like Kenmore used.

NO Means NO

I dunno, I got a chuckle out of an appliance flat-out having a "No" button...

 

I need a "No" button for myself sometimes...

I first noticed the NO button on a Westinghouse dryer in Davison's at the then new Cobb Center before Christmas in 1963. Our next door neighbors took my brother and me up there one Saturday to see the place. I remember there was a book store that had cards based on drawings done by Jackie Kennedy in the window and it was kind of a jolt to be reminded in the middle of a fun shopping trip of the tragedy just a couple of weeks earlier. That was also the only time I saw a Silex Regent coffee maker other than in a picture.
