Now this ad is sure to make the modern day “Miss Seattle” groan. The 1952 Seattle Gas Company ad comes from a copy of the 1952
Argus touting the world’ s mo
st modern laboratory-size range.
Laboratory-size?! They insisted that in ’53 Miss Seattle would be cooking with gas.
Speaking of ads (but hopefully the less groan inducing type), you may have
noticed some popping up on a handful of pages.
I’ve titled them “Vintage Listings” and hope they aren’t too invasive or distracting. They really just serve to bring some cash back in to cover the money going out for the items I procure for the blog — there will be no profit. Let me know if you have any feedback and feel free to call
me a sellout in the comments.

Miss Seattle Cooks With Gas! Yes, this year and throughout the New Year 1953, Miss Seattle will be cooking with Gas on the world’s most modern laboratory-size range. Today Miss Seattle is cooking on “Seattle Miss” — the de luxe school range created especially for cooking classes in Seattle public schools, installed without cost by Seattle Gas Company. Built by Wedgewood to Seattle Gas Company specifications, “Seattle Miss” has all the fine features of Mother’ s modern, automatic Wedgewood at home. Seattle Gas Company. 1507 4th Avenue. Main 6767. The Argus, 1952.

Can I find a refurbished laboratory-size range anywhere these days? I’ve got kitchen reno on the brain.
The ads aren’t distracting at all, and speaking for myself, I have no problem with you finding a way to break even on the site, just so long as you keep posting. You’re one of my favorite reads and I want you to keep it up! In fact, it would probably be good to stick some ads in the feed too – not sure how many others read you in a feed reader, but I rarely link through to the site.
Thanks Kate, I appreciate that. Just wait until I put up some of those “punch the monkey” ads… just kidding.
P.S. You’re not cranky at all!

For a second I thought that said “built IN Wedgewood”… !
Mom, you can cook with gas all you want just don’t make food that causes…well.
I know where you can get a laboratory sized range like that. In a shoe box!
