1955, General Electric launches the 9 1/2-foot wonder kitchen in partnership with the Philadelphia Levittown project

 


When a woman goes house-hunting, the place she usually heads for first is the kitchen. This is where she spends so much of her day. This is where she's most likely to fall in love with the house, or reject it.

A man who fully realizes the import of this is the world's largest developer, William Levitt. He believes not only in a kitchen that captivates women at first sight, but one that-paradoxically-she spends less time in ... one that does her tasks so efficiently that she has extra hours each day for her family, friends or hobbies.

What you see here is the final design of the built-in custom kitchen-laundry center that both Levitt and General Electric agree offers today's woman more than any other conceived during the past quarter century. (Mr. Levitt's association with General Electric goes back to 1930, the year G-E Refrigerators were first installed in his unique houses.)

The General Electric Kitchen Center will be in stalled in Mr. Levitt's finest Levittown, Pa. homes, and it will also be made available all over America, through local builders, G-E distributors and G-E dealers.
