Anyhow, when ever I get wind of some other Angela Miller publish on Kohler Talk I click on over there to look what wonders she's unearthed. I think she hit the mom lode this time. Here is a chain of Kohler advertisements from the Nineteen Fifties.
Now, I take away toilets just like the ones shown in those ads on a month-to-month foundation at least. The a part of Florida in which I stay reached absolutely constructed out stage by the point the '50s were thru. Every different toilet in Pinellas County Florida seems precisely like as a minimum any such commercials.
Most of them are still in distinctly correct form and that announces volumes approximately the furnishings and production standards of the time. Most of the furniture grow to be in architectural salvage and maximum of them do find new houses. But in the meantime, while those baths are nonetheless intact, they characteristic as a reminder of of great and longevity. Once I tear out this type of '50s baths, it gets changed by a current "spa" bath and certain they appearance incredible when we are achieved. But I surprise if they will nonetheless be round in 60 years. Hmmmm. I doubt it.
But before I get too wistful here, check out this kitchen sink:
