Nooo from Kalamazooooo, just for yooooo!
With power outages in the news, both
here and in
Calif, maybe it's time to bring back the GENUINE innovation displayed in this 1953 ad for Kalamazoo stoves.
In 1953 some rural areas had unreliable electric power, so a flexible stove was an advantage.
Note the
combination models. Gas/coal/wood and electric/coal/wood. Gas models were ready for piped gas or bottled gas.
Now that we're UNbuilding our infrastructure, tearing out dams and power plants and letting trees grow into our power lines because trees are HOLY SAINTLY UNTOUCHABLE GODS, we've reverted to the primitive era of unreliable electric power. Thanks to the wonders of environmentalism and Share-Value economics working in demonic tandem, this old innovation would be advantageous again. What we need now is a combination electric/propane/wood. This would eliminate the need for separate camp-style propane stoves.
