Love the caption!

"Midnight snacks in the kitchen are usually accompanied by a cigarette. This convenient lighter elimates the need of matches in the kitchen. (On Emperor Range only)."

And the Westinghouse Emperor range in the mid 60's dispensed Valium, didn't it?

This is just too cool. Thanks for posting it, gansky!

It's almost enough to make me take up smoking ;-)

That is hillarious.

If they only would have shown the Emporer Plus model, you would have seen the dandy attachment for freebasing cocaine. Great picture, and so totally of its time.

David, when I was your age I would have snapped that BongIron up in a heartbeat, LOL!

I have heard smokers justify having a gas range because they light their cigarettes from the burner.

One electric range from the 30s, I believe, gave you the option of having, in the center of the control panel, either a two slice toaster or a radio.

GULP.

I'm dying here!
I'm assuming this range is electric.....

And if it's midnight shouldn't she be in a bathrobe, with big pink curlers in her hair and a mud face mask???

Interesting, they don't put lighters in vehicles anymore, they put "accessory outlets" They are basically lighter sockets that can't take the heat of an actual lighter, and don't come with one anyways!

My niece and her husband have a party planning book from the

I can't remember if it was from Sunset, Good Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens.

It includes thoughtful party touches like filling salad or punch bowls with packs of cigarettes and the importance of strategically placed ash trays. A photo shows nearly every adult with a cigarette while children snack and play IN THE SAME ROOM.

How times have changed.

Greg,
What a great picture!!!
Where did you get that? Or of an ad?
She looks like a big ole dyke that just got out of prison!!!
What is attractive about this feature?
I love it.
Thanks for posting!

And the cigarette looks like a non-filter brand too! She looks like a rough lady. Not the type of gal you would use to demonstrate "The Sheer Look" thats for sure!! Bet she rolls her own....

1950's Life Magazine Ad

In one of the stack of old mags in my Grandmothers house there is an ad for Salem cigs that describes smoking
as a "sport"
