First bathroom fans-when?

[mavei511]

Wanted to find out when the first RESIDENTIAL bathroom fans were introduced. Believe it was around 1948-53.I know that fans for kitchens and commercial restrooms were introduced much earlier and the first ones were adaptations of industrial fans until Broan introduced the Motordoor ,the first modern kitchen exhaust fan in 1932. This picture is from 1955.

I have seen some online ads for Pryne & Co.,Inc.as early as 1946 which lists the Blo-Fan as the original electric ceiling ventilator (in three sizes)and lists bathrooms as one of its uses for the smallest size.
