This shows up in the context of this item:
1920 Estate Electric Range Advertisement
One of the things the advertisement notes is that the electric range is "cool".
Cool?
We've never thought of that, and I don't know how we've missed it.
Now, we've certainly dealt with stoves more than once, and even had a photo essay devoted to them in this post here:
The Kitchen Stove
Moravian kitchen stove, late 20th Century
Ranch kitchen stove, 1940s.
Cow flop fueled kitchen stove, Montana, 1937.
Kitchen stove, Vermont, 1939.
Gas stove, Arizona, 1940.
Gas stove, Texas. 1940.
Minnesota, 1940.
North Dakota, 1940.
Girl reading by kitchen stove, New Mexico, winter 1943.
Colorado, 1938.
Gas stove, 1924.
Electric stove, California farm, 1944.
And in our incredibly slow moving novel, we even have a section about a morning stove warming up the house.
Why didn't we think of what that must have been like in summer?
Wondering what it was like? Stop in and visit that post.
