| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | ca. 1925 |
| Caption | Sears, Roebuck's Seattle catalog first started advertising electric kitchen stoves in the mid-1920s. Earlier kitchen stoves used wood, gas, oil, or coal. Food cooked on an electric stove was said to taste better because there were no fuel odors.
This photo shows the latest in electric stoves in the kitchen of the Seattle Times Model Home in about 1925. In 1926, an electric stove of this type would have cost around $70.00 at Sears. |
