  The American Home October 1936
New York, Country Life - American Home Corp., 1936. Soft Cover, Folio - over 12" - 15" tall, Very Good/Wraps, Very Good, Nice copy of a less commonly seen early decorating magazine. Only faults are soiling to back white cover, a small tear to bottom of spine neatly repaired with almost invisible, non-yellowing archival tape, a flat crease at back cover and a few corresponding page corners and a tiny crease to bottom front corner. Subscription form bound in. In 1936 it was all about color for walls and floors. Gone were the "safe" colors of the 20's -- time now for vibrancy. Of special note is the illustrated article on furniture woods, some of which were exotic. Also has articles on planting irises, innovative ideas for shutters, children and camp, recipes and more. Great ads, too, including a full-page silver metallic one for Wear-Ever Cooking Utensils, and a full-page color one of two women raiding the fridge done by Boni Ami. Of special interest is a Camel cigarette ad on back cover that used society women of Philadelphia to sell the product.

NO AUTHOR  1965 Frigidaire Electric Ranges
, Frigidaire, 1965. /, Soft Cover. Very Good/Very Good, Wraps. Oblong. Remember when appliances were pale yellow and aqua? That was a generation before avacado and harvest gold! Here they are again in living color in this wonderful brochure which offers some unusual innovations that never seemed to make it to the finish line. There are 40" ranges and ranges with pull-out burners, but the real star of the show was the Pull n' Clean range -- the oven pulled out like a drawer for easy access. What we found fascinating about, aside from the appliances themselves, are the children playing in close proximity to the range. Iin one picture a small child is standing on the back of an older one to reach the top oven of the 30" Twinset! How times have changed. Interesting piece of ephemera.

NO AUTHOR  Sherwin Williams Home Decorating
, Sherwin Williams Paint. /, Soft Cover. Very Good/Wraps, Very Good. 1962 Edition. A blast from the past, replete with shag carpet and the fake wood paneling we're busy painting today. But the surprising thing is the strong use of color -- teals, reds, greens and grays that would be right at home in a 21st century house. Advertises a lot of products that are history, as well as a contest where the prize is a shiny red T-bird. (Hear those Beach boys singing?) 43 colorful pages.
