This is the oldest owners manual for any major appliance we have found up to this point. Westinghouse very first range was in 1914, so this is very early in the line. I can only imagine what housewives had to cook on before this range. This is a fascinating look at early range history. Even the writing style is completely different than what you'd see today by far! [I]Most women would like to cook if it did not require standing over a hot stove. Planning a meal is not hard and mixing various ingredients into the promise of delicious dainties or preparing a roast for the oven is rather fun . But to be held in the kitchen or even in the house during the long hours of watchfulness is a different matter. And it is right here that the Westinghouse electric range steps in and lifts the burden. When the food has been prepared it may be trusted to this silent servant with perfect confidence. There is no possibility of instructions being forgotten or misunderstood . At a given time, (the time decided upon,) the clock will turn on the current and the meal will begin to cook. Again when just the correct temperature has been reached in the oven, the thermostat will turn the current off again and when madam enters the kitchen after an afternoon of leisure or pleasure the meal is ready to serve. She herself is prepared to enjoy the meal equally as well as any member of the family , because she has not had to think about it since early morning. Because the Westinghouse range reduces the labors of cooking to the minimum, requiring no watching nor constant regulation of heat, because it produces better food , and because it is more economical, it will be in the kitchen of every modern . progressive woman who is anxious to keep her family happy and in good health. and yet does not wish to become a fixture in the kitchen with its consequent limitations.[/I]
