Ranges!
I grew up with gas and most people I know had gas stoves. Mostly they spoke about how they would never have electric. After using electric ranges I liked them. The 1st electric experience of my own was a late 60's hotpoint cooktop and wall oven.
The wall oven was the best I ever used. The cooktop was ok but I replaced it with a Summit 24 inch cooktop that I liked a lot. I liked the fact that the coils unplugged and the top lifted up to clean and it had more power than the hotpoint.
When I moved I had to have gas (a coop rule) The 1st few years I had a 1950' 20 inch wincroft in my coop than when I redone the kitchen 10 years ago I bought a sears with 2 power burners. It cooks as well as the electric coil in my openion but I would take a electric oven over a gas oven any day! Back in the 70's and early 80's my Aunt had a complete GM Frigidaire home but she had a gas hardwick stove. I knew a few people that had complete Frigidaire homes with the exception of various stoves gas! More pictures and stories welcome!
Thanks,
Peter

Monarch wood, gas, electric, wood/gas, wood/electric stoves were built in Bever Dam, WI., not Beaver Bay. My maternal grandmother, and mom had 30" Monarch gas ranges, and one of my dad's paternal aunt's had a 40" electric range and they were all built very solidly. Grandma used the heat from the pilot light to raise her homemade bread faster, and it was always as light as a feather. I miss mom's Monarch, she now has a POS GE gas range.

Good thread, Pete!
This popped up on our CL the other day, no pictures though. Not even a brand name!! I'm resisting the urge to call. Must resist.

Monarch!
These were fairly common both in my hometown of Lenoir NC and here in Mocksville, we have a great furniture store here that has been a Hotpoint dealer since 49 and was a Monarch dealer, he collects old stoves, and has some rare birds!, I would slide that red Monarch in my kitchen yesterday!! the owner of the store here said a Monarch was much heavier than a Hotpoint, and was more expensive, I have a 52 O Keefe and Merrit hi vue range I want to sell, its in good unrestored condition.
