by Snow White Cabinet Clothes Dryer
Cincinnati: The Williamson Heater Company, 1927. Staplebound. Color illustrated pictorial wraps. Very good. 17 pages. 23 x 10 cm. Before the clothes dryer as we now know, there was a half step improvement for homemakers: a cabinet where one would hang clothes, after using the wringer, which basically operated like a large hair dryer. The logic was - no hauling the clothes outside in all weather or having unsightly clothes drying all over the house. The downside was they were fairly dangerous and caused electrical fires. Illustrated throughout. Middle pages detached because of rusted staples, otherwise clean and bright. Promotional postcard laid in.
