Wow.
Very Cool.
Those Steel Plants. Real Eco Friendly. Green Too !!!
Great Photos of a Manufacturing America gone by. Everyone had Jobs.
When "Made in the U.S.A." seemed commonplace. Sigh.

J.L. Hudson's Detroit Michigan
While we're shopping for new Westinghouses and RCA Whirlpools, does anyone know how to find an entire collection of photos of J.L. Hudson's that were online for I don't know how long? Detroit historical sites online don't yeild them anymore. Does anyone here remember them, or have a clue as to how to find them again? I refuse to believe they took them down.
Eiben and Irr looks like a wonderful place to shop, I love all the old department store photos showing the interiors. I'd love to see inside more of these regional businesses.

I think..
The fridges I think are Westinghouse...(what else would anyone in Pittsburgh buy?)
They look like those in the 1958 Annual Report, which has great glamour shots of the 'Shape of Tommorow'

Console TV on the left
Is an RCA Victor with the channel displayed in the little window at the top. Our landlady had this model, circa 1956-1957. The hi-fi on tall legs to the left of the records is an RCA Victor also, a friend of mine has this model still in use, same time frame. The legs come off if you want to use it on a table, credenza, shelf or similar. The refrigerators I think are RCA Whirlpool, the logo on the doors looks the same as what's on the drapes.
BTW, I'd kill for those drapes!

Neat pictures but not everyone had jobs we were still in the Eisenhower recession at this time.

Brought back memories. My parents purchased the exact RCA console 21" screen television on the left in the picture that was an upgrade from the Admiral that my dad bought in the early 50's. My parents purchased their first home in San Francisco in 1955 and was furnishing their new home with new things.

Interesting to see those smaller TVs on the shelves in photo 5... for you young-uns, this is what passed for a "portable" television back in the day. Those things probably weighed at least 20 lbs.
OMG!
This was wonderful! What a great trip down memory lane. Gorgeous Pittsburgh bridge pictures as well. I have to make a haj threre someday.

fridges
The fridges in that picture are RCA Whirlpools. If anyone has seen re-runs of Sanford and Son on television, they have a fridge in their kitchen identical to the single door model in the foreground. Only difference was their's was Avacado.

Can anyone provide details on the dark trim pieces on the Whirlpool fridges? The single door's trim has six characters and the two door models have seven characters.
TOL RCA Whirlpool washer next to range in middle of the floor.
This machine had the TimeLine Control turning thing for the cycles and I believe this machine had a light in that front chrome strip that indicated machine was in operation?

Ok here is what I believe the characters on the RCA Whirlpoo
The single door with 6 letters spells CUSTOM...the one next to it with 7 letters spells SUPREME...and the last one which actually has 8 letters spells IMPERIAL...this is just a very educated guess on my part but if I am not mistaken all three of those names were used on RCA Whirlpool appliances at the time....PAT COFFEY

Thanks Pat. I wasn't sure if that furthest one had seven or eight characters.
I also believe this picutre is from 1956 to no later than mi
The reason I think that is because the Hoover Upright on display is a Model 64 Citation which was replaced by the model 65 Convertible in approximately Mid Spring 1957...PAT COFFEY
