I love these!!!!

Some of the interior's  seem to be  a different color..did they  match/ coordinate the racks...or is it just the picture?
 
Appeal to the "Carriage Trade"

"Servants are Happier...Additional help isn't required for large dinner parties." They would never want to imply that the homemaker interested in one of these actually has to do the dishes herself. I wonder if that erect pole emerging from the machine was deemed too indelicate to demonstrate for the lady of the house?

There is no dishwasher in the kitchen at Hillwood, Marjorie M. Post's estate in Washington, D.C., because of the Czarist china she collected and used. There are huge, multiple sinks, though. While her husband was ambassador to the USSR, the communists were trying to raise money and would sell almost anything for the right amount of money and Marjorie had money's mammy by the tits.
 
Washed, rinsed and dried in five or six minutes?  Did anything actually come out clean?

 

I wonder if the still common practice of thorough pre-rinsing by hand stems from the legacy of machines like the LOEB, presuming the servants had nothing better to do.
 
Archives!

This loeb design looks very interesting.
As for the frigidaire I always felt this spray tube would have performed top notch if they had a full arm in addition at the bottom of the machine!
Thanks for the scans!

Beautiful literature! Please keep 'em coming.

Bravo!

 

Was the photo retouch-er paid by the hour or did the vinyl on those beautiful, and I mean beautiful, early Frigidishwashers change from "Sherwood Green" to pink overnight? I love how these early machines stand on their own. Am getting very tired of today's built-in look that makes every kitchen look like a galley on a submarine.

 

For how long did GM feature Robin and his Merry Men colors?

 

And yes, it is so important to me to keep my servants happy. I've been watching episodes of "Downton Abbey" and dreaming about having valets, personal maids, cooks, housekeepers and chauffeurs. Ah, the vintage appliances of the landed class.

Ms. Gotrocks won't be having that figure for long with all those goodies sitting around. Pretty soon chairs will run away when she approaches.

I would not want anyone like servants interfering with me operating my own appliances. Actually, I don't want anyone except me in my house. When I moved into my house in 1992, the three little (then) boys across the street used to play with the 5 year old who had lived there with his parents. They were part of a family of 6 in a house and used to ask me which room was mine. I said all of them were mine. The questions stopped, and everything else for that matter, when I said that if I wanted, I could run naked and screaming through the house and not bother anyone.
