Laundry Scenes & Methods

Here are three postcards from a monthly advertising series used by laundries and cleaners in 1913. The fronts of the postcards show a variety of laundry methods in foreign countries, while the backs have descriptions of  the more modern processes and methods used in American commercial laundries of the era.

The first postcard shows a hand laundry in Panama. This postcard was sent in December, and the message on the back indicates that it was the last card in the "series of hand-colored photographs of laundry scenes in all lands."

The next postcard shows a public wash house in Italy. The back discusses the use of the machines used for ironing and finishing shirts..

My final postcard has a scene of river wash boats in Switzerland. The message on the back discusses the big flat ironer machines used for flat work like sheets and pillow cases.

Vintage Kitchen Stoves

Here are some postcards advertising kitchen ranges from early- to mid-twentieth century. The card above advertising the Quick Meal Range is circa 1909-10. This range was apparently made of iron with ornate embellishments.That looks like a coal bucket next to it. Both wood and coal were used for cooking at that time.

The next two postcards advertising "modern" Monarch ranges are probably from the early 1930s. No mention is made of the type of fuel used by these stoves. The first model looks like a modernized version of an old wood or coal burning stove. It was a "balanced design" incorporating "adequate equipment for heating and cooking."  and was available in either Ivory-Tan or Nile-Green porcelain enamel finish. The second model looks closer to the more modern ranges of the last 75 years. It had a practical "4-in-line" top, a large bake oven, a warming compartment, a light, and a timer clock. It was available in Ivory-Tan, Nile-Green, or White.

There were big changes in cooking stoves in the thirty years between 1910 and 1940, but not many obvious changes from 1940 until now.

Early electric stoves were unsatisfactory for several reasons. "By the 1930s, decreased cost of electric power and modernized styling of electric stoves had greatly increased their acceptance. Electric stoves and other household appliances were marketed by electrical utilities to build demand for electric power." (source: Wikipedia)

The 1940s Frigidaire models illustrated on the next two postcards don't look very different from today's stoves. The 1940 Frigidaire Special Model B-15 on the first Frigidaire card has features comparable to more expensive models — 5-Speed Surface Cooking, Twin Unit Oven, Thermizer well cooker, High-Speed Broiler,  and Cooking Top Lamp.

The 1953 Crosley electric range also still looks fairly modern. Crosley also manufactured automobiles, and the back panel reminds me of an auto dashboard. This range has two "Bake-Best" ovens, and "Automatic Mastermind," and Pushbutton controls for seven surface heat speeds.

Appliance company ads seem to emphasize electric ranges and appliances. When a gas range is shown, the ad is often promoting the use of gas rather than a specific brand of appliance. The ad below promoting modern gas ranges is from the December 1939 issue of The American Home magazine.(This image can be enlarge to an easy reading size)

Oranges and Grapefruit from Florida

 

Here are two mid-1930s postcards advertising fancy fruit gift packages from Indian Rocks Fruits, Inc. and Rancho Margarita. Florida is a big citrus producing state, and the mid-1930s was a time when auto travel to Florida was increasing. Roadside shops sprang up along the highway where tourists could stop and buy fruit to eat and ship. 

The prices seem absurdly low now, especially considering that they included shipping. The largest size in a wooden crate was 90 pounds and cost only $7.50 from Rancho Margarita.

The Orange Blossom Groves postcard below is a circa 1950 example of one of the shops. The first Orange Blossom Groves location was opened in 1946, and the one in Clearwater was opened three years later. This is now closed, as are most of the old Florida tourist-oriented roadside citrus attractions.

The Orange Shop shown in the video below opened in 1936 and is still in business. Their current "free shipping specials" of approximately 27 pounds. cost over $70.
