Reply #57: Had that mid-50s GE television in college. My stepfather gave it to me; it had been mounted on a wall in his workshop for years. Not a scratch on it. It survived five years with me at college then came home again and was used for a few more years before it was replaced with a color set. A workhorse!
Louis: As always, thanks for taking the time to share these with us. What better way to spend a crisp, sunny Sunday morning than with a cup of coffee and vintage ads?

You're very welcomed Eugene.
I get a kick reading and rereading these ads too!

$19.95 for a GE Hand Mixer in 1955
wasn’t exactly economical. The average yearly wage in 1955 was $3301.44 or $63.49 per week. Hence, the average worker would have had to work over 1/3 of the week to afford that handy little GE mixer. No wonder my Mom said we didn’t need one.
Nevertheless, they are a cunning little kitchen appliance. But, the Chinese crap we buy today is more affordable, if not more durable. You can’t have everything I guess.

Speaking of Chinese crap, has anyone noticed any prices increasing? I havn't. Not yet anyway.

<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>I think the GE hand mixer would be MORE durable than the Chinese "crap" we buy today.The mixer may have been high priced in its day-but would have been MORE long term durable than ones we can buy today--will the mixer bought today still be around and working 20,50 yrs from today???
The "headlight" iron sounds like a good idea!We could do that today with LEDs!
I have the Zenith TV in reply #25 and the Revco refrigerator and freezer in reply #47.
