Certainly it will surprise those who still consider the electric range a luxury. But Hotpoint’s million electric ranges were not purchased as luxury items. They were the choice of money-smart women who sought a cleaner, better, easier way to cook. It is gratifying to have pioneered this essential improvement in the living standards of a nation. We thank the million women who believe with us that electricity is the truly clean and modern method for cooking as well as lighting. Today’s Hotpoint Electric Ranges set a new high standard of convenience and dependability. Food starts to cook in less than half a minute. Calrod Hi-Speed units provide five measured heats to suit every kind of cooking. Such features as all-porcelain enamel finish, flavor-seal oven and thrift cooker may be had in models that sell as low as $89.95 at the factory. As Hotpoint begins production on its second million electric ranges we are able, because of the rich fund of manufacturing experience and skill, to lower prices and give greater values than ever before. This will bring the convenience and cleanliness of electric cooking into more millions of homes. To commemorate this great event, replicas of the Aristocrat, Hotpoint’s Millionth Electric Range, are now on display throughout the country in stores where electric appliances are sold. Be sure to see these beautiful new ranges. Discover how completely Hotpoint has provided a cleaner, better, easier way to cook automatically.
