Whitehead Kitchens were expensive, but well worth the cost. The steel cabinets were very heavily constructed, and the Monel tops and sinks were excellent in every respect. My dad's Uncle Fred and Aunt Hazel installed these when they built their new home in 1936, and all were still nearly new looking when we sold the house in 1991 after his death the previous year. They had replaced the faucet sometime in the early 60's with a single handle model; otherwise all original.

I remember Drain Power.
Drano 1926
The statement in the ad about it "not harm plumbing" is a lie because the stuff is lye. I've seen many a metal sink trap with a wall as thin as foil, or worse perforated from regular Drano use. There also seemed at the time an obsession or belief it was necessary to have drain pipes clean so they wouldn't stink or spread disease.

Drain Power Sucks
I too have used Drain Power some time in the mid-1970's. Mom's bathroom sink was very sluggish, getting to the point where it took a long time to drain. How we ended up buying this totally ridiculous product is unknown. It did work. But why we never thought to just grab a plunger and plunge the heck out of the sink is unknown. Obviously many other people also never thought to use a plunger, so Drain Power enters the market.
I can't think of a more wasteful product than Drain Power. It's a can of compressed air, packaged in plastic and metal, ends up in landfill where it will stay for 10,000 years. Archeologist in the future will be totally puzzled by the purpose of the Drain power can, possibly thinking it was used as a "marital aide" for infertile couples.....
