The American Home Magazine - September 1957

Welcome to Magazine Monday on Wednesday, I would have had this posted on Monday but there’s just so much time and so little to do. Wait a minute, strike that - reverse it.

From September 1957 its The American Home Magazine, published from 1928 to 1977 when it merged with Redbook.




There are only two pages in this “Rare Antiques in Disneyland” article but it’s pretty high on the interesting scale and I’ve got some “before and after” things to checkout.




Where did some of this stuff go?





Here’s the collector print “Ready to frame”.





I hope you’re ready for a heap of vintage advertisements because this magazine is busting at the seams with them. Does the fact that this is the one and only car advertisement in this woman’s magazine does say something about who made car purchasing decisions in 1957?




Neato Kitchen!





I want to live in this house.




And this one.




And this one too.




Ah yes, one those low-quiet toilets that looks a lot cooler than its works.




Six lovely pastel colors. Hey is that lady half naked?




Who else agrees with me that this is the coolest darn refrigerator you’ve ever seen? Has anyone ever seen one of these in actual use? I want one! I wonder what kind of brackets held it up on the wall.




A more conventional appliance from GE - even in pink they look battle ready.




How about some laundry soap for your new automatic? That guy looks like Andy Griffith.




Cheer washes so white you can see the different. Isn’t it neat that these brands are still around?




Paging Andy Warhol.




These last two have some of the simple yet warm and comfortable drawing style that symbolizes the later part of the 1950’s.
