Louis, thank-you so much for posting these ads. I think at one time or another I've seen many of the products being advertised. I miss many of them!!
The Vitrolite bathroom, reply 31, well, that's just about it for me. I could live with that the rest of my days on earth. That was just about the most elegant bathroom I ever saw. Gorgeous. Love Art Deco when tastefully done.
The Removable China Fixtures Easy Set, Reply 43, delicate and beautiful. Would be proud to have those in my bathroom. It's interesting the amount of subway tile in the bathrooms and kitchens. Thought that tile lost its popularity in the 30's. Think the Vitrolite was a definite step up. Some of the ads reminds me of the old saying, what's old is new again.
Thanks for posting,
Barry
 
Hey Jamie

Thanks.
I survived. A couple of minor burns, but nothing serious. No permanent scars! Lol
The best thing to come out of working there, was that that's when I met the girl who would eventually agree to marry me.
It does make me question her judgement, but...

RE KFC fryers

The very first one was a model 40 Presto, then Colonel Sanders started using Mirro Matics, I have one from the 60s, it is a 16 qt Mirro Matic, the only difference in it and the normal Mirro Matic is the weight assembly, A good friend was the manager at KFC from 1965 up into the 70s, he told me the whole process, Peanut oil is heated to 350 to 375, the breaded chicken is added, that size cooker will hold 4 small frying chickens, then the lid is put on, when it begins to jiggle, time 12 minutes, take off heat and unscrew the pressure release in the weight, it works great,
