I would say that ad for the hardwick gas range was about 1962 or 63. The womans clothes look like the Jackie-O style of the time.
That 59 Frigidaire stove is just a work of art! I love the way the individual burners indicate what they are set to.

Ranges!
Yes that Frigidaire range is out of this world - they were so far ahead of everyone.

Beautiful ranges, all!

OMG gansky1
I had a stove like this at my last condo. It was a Magic Chef. I hated that damn stove. You could never use a large stock pot and it was always blowing circuits. By the way, I wonder how many curlers it took Margo to get her hair like that. Oh, those 70s with all its Harvest Gold, Copper Tone, Avocado Green

Curlers? Not just curlers.
Throw in a rat-tail comb and a can "self-styling" Adorn, or V05 hairspray and that should get you where you needed to be! *LOL*
Still love the hair,dress, shoes, decor, and those fablous ranges. Not fond of those loafers, socks and cuffed blue jeans.
That Frigidaire range is to die for! How did those "heat minder" controls work? Were they reliable?

1970s HARDWICK GAS Hi Low RANGE
Greg great ad for the Hardwick, but when you consider how much hair spray she has in her hair she shouldn't go anywhere near a gas range. That could all be gone faster than the Hindenburg.

red cracked ice counters!
OMG! Where is that custom range? Those are the exact counters I seek! I found a totally outrageous outlet for the formica on line, but have yet to find someone to bind the edges in stainless. Those are some FINE ranges, yessir!

Premier Stove Co.
Premier Stoves is an American company based in Illinois that still produces ranges domestically. From our limited research, they make high quality, but simple ranges. I picked up an 80s Premier for $20 for my 3rd floor apartment, and the girls that live there quite liked it. It's a 30" range with either 5 burners, or you can convert the center burner to a griddle, or just put a cover on and have a traditional 4 burner model. All premiers that I've seen, even the new ones have pull out broilers at the bottom, rather than a storage drawer. Menard's carried a lot of Premier ranges, at least the one I've been to in Decatur, IL.

Gansky, we have the same Frigidaire range! I've always loved that range, and while it's in the basement area now still use it from time to time.
Mine is lacking the heat minder, but I might scavenge one from a '65 cooktop I have, if it's compatible. Unfortunately my glass panel is cracked, Way back when in '59 when my mom got it we had a glass block window right above the stove. The cold transferred from the blocks caused the glass to break on more than one occasion. After the last time my mom just lived with it. It really only has 6 years of everyday use, in '65 we moved to a new home and it had a crappy 30" Hotpoint drop in range. At that point the monster was moved to the basement and hooked up a few years later. If I recall my folks paid about $600 of it in '59, think of that in 2010 $$$!
Modern kitchens are just not designed for 40" ranges, too bad.

Brown Turquoise?
Or is it a Turquoise Brown? Either way, it's not a new color I invented!

This turquoise color Brown is a 27" model, I think it started life in a trailer, or a manufactured home. Supposed to work, I haven't checked it.
Also, if anyone feels the need, I have the matching Admiral single door refrigerator. It works fine.

how quickly I forget...
NOW I remember those from your first post. Sigh. To dream. Thanks for refreshing my old memory banks. I hope that kitchen is still intact.
