Two Westinghouse headlamps for $3.60. All that safety for less than a tankful of gas. That's from a Westinghouse commercial on Studio One in 1955. I enjoy those commercials -- most with Betty Furness -- because prices are quoted freely. And those Westinghouse refrigerators! They had every feature you could think of and plenty you'd never have thought of. A container that's connected to your water supply and that dilutes frozen juice to the correct proportions. Air, water and juice concentrate, all mixed just right.
And 65 years later, you can buy a dozen Westinghouse headlamps for less than a tankful of gas.
