Christmas 1960: Ohio Edison Ad

Here's another ad from December 1960, for Ohio Edison. It features our old buddy, Reddy Kilowatt. I did a series on him back in August (click here to refresh your memory.) He's looking pretty domesticated in this ad, with his apron.

I like this ad. It's kind of quaint, promoting one of those newfangled dishwashers! "Cleans dishes better than you can do by hand!"
I don't know if I believe that. I still spend a lot of time washing pots and casserole dishes by hand, mainly because if I put them the dishwasher, they'll come out with a hardened crust around the edges.
It's good to see in the ad that Ohio Edison is a "tax-paying" electric company!
