#552189,  is cool,  its the not quite post war ad, touting the advantages of a Laundromat that was not yet in mass production.  You Could write away for the 56 page booklet on how to care for fabrics and the "story of the Laundromat".  Of  course Westinghouse kept your address for the post victory day, no doubt to send you a invitation to a dealer when The Laundromat was available.  alr

My aunt & uncle had the built-in Hotpoint appliances shown above with one difference, they had the Hotpoint fridge shown above with the polished aluminum panel on the front.  Their home was built in 1958, and the appliances were copper colored.  I thought that built-in fridge was the coolest thing ever, and it was a monster.

In one of ads I saw a paper drinking straw. I had fogotten all about those. Remember how they would get soggy and wouldn't work anymore? Wonder if you can still buy them. I'll have to look next time I'm at the grocery store.
