Live Better Electrically Medallion

Cleaned up from 48 years of tarnish, a brass medallion signifying that I live in a "Medallion Home", part of a late 1950s push by General Electric to sell all-electric houses.

From here:
To keep demand high, the electrical industry launched the Live Better Electrically, or LBE, campaign in March 1956. It was supported nationwide by 300 electric utilities and 180 electrical manufacturers.

The Medallion Homes campaign was a huge success. By some estimates, the nationwide goal of about 1 million all-electric homes was achieved, according to the Edison Electric Institute, although data on the actual number built is unavailable.

The CS 1640 features two compressors, has earned the highest EnergyStar rating, and requires no plumbing.

Berkeley, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) May 07, 2011

General Appliance, the premier East Bay appliance dealer, is now offering Liebherr refrigerators. Liebherr is the worldwide leader in premium refrigeration. Its freezer compartments can be accurately controlled independent from each other, ensuring ideal refrigeration performance for different foods.

With no air exchange between the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment, the dual refrigeration system prevents odor transfers between compartments and better humidity control so that foods stay fresh tasting and smelling and do not dry out.

With over 50 years of experience in cooling, the German manufacturer sets the pace with continuous product innovation and a proactive approach to responsible manufacturing.

People buy Liebherr refrigerators because its dual compressors guarantee better food preservation and offer energy efficiency and quiet operation. The units also offer better utilization of space and more design options are available.

General Appliance of Berkeley is now offering the new CS 1640 freestanding refrigerator, which has received the top EnergyStar rating. It features two compressors, digital temperature control, and is one of the only refrigerators on the market that does not need plumbing.

“When using plumbing to connect or disconnect waterlines, water damage can be a major concern which can be extremely expensive,” says Ife Collins, Director of Marketing at General Appliance of Berkeley. “That is not an issue with this refrigerator.”

The CS 1640 also offers a better range of space capacity . Refrigerator features include a removable VarioBox that can go straight from the fridge to the table and increased gallon holder space on doors for larger containers. The freezer not only stores food more efficiently, but it has innovative FrostSafe freezer drawers that keep cold air from escaping when the door is open.

Liebherr’s removable and flexible drawer system, called VarioSpace, allows expansion for oversized items such as a turkey or large container as seen in the Bio fresh full extension figure.

For more information on the CS 1640 or any of General Appliance of Berkeley’s other products or services, please call (510-987) 3719 or visit their website http://www.bayareakitchenappliances.com.

Abandoned house at the Charleston Navy Yard.

Charleston Navy Yard (later renamed the Charleston Naval Shipyard and finally renamed Naval Base Charleston) was a U.S. Navy ship building and repair facility located along the west bank of the Cooper River, in North Charleston, South Carolina. It began operations in 1909 as a drydock, and continued as a navy facility until 1996 when it was leased to Detyens Shipyards, Inc. during down-sizing.

The yard first produced the destroyer USS Tillman (DD-135), then began to increase production in the 1930s. A total of 21 destroyers were assembled at Charleston Navy Yard.

Today, a 340-acre (1.4 km2) section of the former base is being revitalized as a sustainable, mixed-use urban hub for the city of North Charleston, SC. The new development is called The Navy Yard at Noisette. Ground broke in 2005.
