From the "Vintage Ads" feed on Livejournal. Interesting narratives on social mores; feminism; technological advancement here.
On the economic side of that last, I’ve listed below the appliance prices in 2011 US dollars.
Electric grill: 5.98
Toaster: &71.93
Vacuum cleaner: 5.61
Waffle Iron: 1.,31
Clothes Iron: .06
Washing machine: No price given, which is telling. Yahoo Answers quotes a range of -60, or
3.27 – 3.93 in today’s dollars.
