According to advertising in those days, women did all housework in high heels while looking like they were ready to step out the door to a social event, UNLESS they were trying to emphasize how awful the task was without their product, like the poor woman in dungarees, gloves, a bandanna and sneakers, kneeling on the floor to clean her old style oven (ca. 54 Frigidaire) versus the new Frigidaire Pull 'n Clean ovens in their early 60s ranges. As for this Hotpoint lady, she looks more like she is serving hubby a bit of late night coffee after some fancy evening out. Isn't it nice that she is so creative and thrifty that she was able to make a gown and kitchen curtains out of the same fabric, even if she did not have quite enough material for both shoulders? I wonder if her ancestors might have had the surname of O'Hara?
RE: The Hotpoint dishwasher in the ad. Imagine all of those dishes and only those few glasses in the middle of the top rack, right over the impeller. You could either lift the entire top rack up from the sidewalls of the lower rack to load the lower rack, or load it through the rectangular opening in the top rack that held the removable section where the glasses were placed. Hotpoint kept the top rack resting on the lower rack arrangement in the cheapest models through the late 50s.

No, she doesn't do housework, that is my job. The good thing about it is, she doesn't mind buying me whatever I want to do it. So, I cook on Calphalon(sp), and I have my Kirby.
She grew up in a household where her father did everything, and was never taught. She literally doesn't know how. If I am away, I have to leave written instructions.
On the other hand, my mother taught me to do everything because she said that she wasn't going to dump me on some poor girl without being housebroken. God knows my father wasn't.

Jackson, very interesting how patterns are passed on through the family environment. And you get to play with all the household toys ... uhh, I mean appliances.

glasses on removable rack
We had one of those machines....the glass rack was very inconvenient to use and the machine melted any plastic put in it, but it did clean...top rated by CR for many years..
