Thanks for posting this. What is the date on the ad? The Princess (24") in white was my Mom's first dishwasher, and I believe it was her Christmas gift in either '57 or '58. It lasted until early '71, when it started leaking due to rusting out in the sump area. A couple of other spots of the vinyl coating were also peeling and rusty - and GE said it would "outwear porcelain" - yeah, right. It was replaced with a KitchenAid that I just recently sold to Pete.
