what i like about this ad is theres no shitty music, no obnoxious sounds, no shitty jokes, and no moral grandstanding. Its literally just about the product and how it functions.
Exactly. It just shows how dumbed down our society has become. Now they make refrigerators that play music and connect to your phone. Lol, so damn stupid 😂

As a former appliance repairman I can tell you I have worked on some of these 1950s refrigerators in the 1990s, early 2000s. They were still rocking along. I only replaced things like door gaskets or shelf brackets.
The original compressors were still running 40 to 50 years later. They wouldn't quit!
I remember one in particular, it was a Ford Philco refrigerator. Yes, the Ford motor company made refrigerators at one time.
It's called survivor bias. There will be some modern day appliances still working 50 years from now.
@@jankoodziej877anyone who has ever owned both modern and vintage appliances knows modern ones are built incredibly poorly.
Wow, I'd pay $5k for a new 1956 refrigerator
Weren't the 50's fridge destroying the atmosphere or something? That's what I think I heard
@@jankoodziej877 No, no there won’t be modern appliances, made in 2024, still running in 2074. The motherboards that run them won’t be available. The appliances that were made in the 1950s and 60s were all mechanical, and robust. They were also power hogs, dirt and grime wasn’t an issue, they had the overbuilt HP to keep chugging, and overheating didn’t affect delicate electronic circuits. Appliances now have to be so energy efficient, they run on the hairy edge of failure as soon as they’re unboxed.
Yeah... I don't need a damn screen with internet on my fridge door... I need something like this...
Yeah,😅😅 design and engineering is evolving, just backwards
How're you gonna play Fortnite then?
Hahaha
This fridge would last longer than most modern day cars, even.
@@snowmiaowThank god CZcams gave me the option to translate your comment to English 🤣
That particular Refrigerator was way ahead of its time. Old is gold. She gave such a detailed advertisement of that fridge.
Even ahead of todays time.
No bullshit, no drama, just pure product explanation
Everybody is talking about how great the fridge is, but I haven’t seen anybody mention how great the ad itself is. It explains all the function of the fridge in a straightforward and honest way without some skit or joke or dumb shit to hook you. It just tells you what the product is and relies on the quality and practicality to speak for itself. I wish more ads followed this philosophy.
Back when advertisements treated their customer base with the respect they deserve and appealed to logic rather than emotion or psychological gimmicks.
Definitely feel like I would have enjoyed that era
I was just thinking about that. Like for a fridge ad, it was more like a lesson then and a commercial.
I bet this gal could cook as well
That's a nice observation. I too have thought of this, as the ad doesn't really have anything else other than what she intends to sell. It's remarkable, and it's a wonder how actually good ads evolved into our crappy commercials.
Someone please bring this back so we can have fridges that make some sense. I really liked the pull out shelves.
And last a half century…..
@@GodsSparrowSpeaks Right the ones we have now break in like 3 years.
@@irenes8689 Exactly! And are hard to clean. Always getting stuff in little crevices.
I think they need to bring in a group of moms, and even childless women, since we are the ones who clean the kitchen and refrigerators… And have them assist with the design!
It’s not just about function, but easy to clean!
And the organization, lack of sufficient storage for a Family is astounding 🤪
@@GodsSparrowSpeaks That is so true.
That's because this was most likely made in the U.S. we don't make things as much here anymore so the quality goes down.
Woah it's more advanced than today's fridges
Yes 😊
This has more features than today's refrigerator ❤
''They don't make 'em like they used to'' couldn't be more fitting here. Whoever came up with the functions and storage ideas was an absolute genius.
They figured out that they could make more money if the fridge failed within 5years, it forces you to keep buying a new 1. It's a business model all industry if not all manufactures use, hence cheap Chinese crap. Now apply this with Big Pharma why cure cancer? Makes far more sense just to manage cancer then to actually cure it.
Even the furniture was ( actually is) higher quality than the wood chip crap being made today. To match what was considered the "cheap stuff" back then, today's furniture has to be "custom made ".
Yup! There are various types of inflation - one is to raise prices; two is to shrink the quantity of the contents in a package; another is to decrease the quality of things. Sometimes those inflationary practices occur all at once.
the secret is they realised having a genius work to specifically make your product as cheap as shitty as possible makes them more money and now they've gotten really good at that
So true and so sad. Women just aren't as good as they used to be.
How did fridges not get better when a masterpiece was made right away
They peaked early. How do you top a masterpiece?
Laziness, incompetence and greed
They finally realized people weren't buying new refrigerators because the ones they sold were so well made. More quality appliances = less revenue. Humans have a greed problem so we couldn't accept that.
You'll find that true of more than refrigerators of yesteryear if you do a little bit of research
Cheaper production costs. We need to support local artisans to counter this.
An actual amazing fridge
The reason they got worse is cuz they had to make the fridges and magnetic cuz children were dying being trapped inside the fridge. The magnetism sadly made the fridges expensive and bland.
Her voice is just amazing ❤
I want that refrigerator right now. It's 100 times better than what we have nowadays.
Love and prayers from Europe. ❤
These old fridges had a better design than today's fridges. Love the slide-out shelves and the ice cube releaser!
Indeed, they seem so ingenious.
And the fruit/vegetable compartment.
Most had egg cradles in the door because it was still common to keep a couple chickens for eggs.
Modern fridges eliminated them.
Those wire shelves would wear and rust or corrode. The modern glass shelves wont rust and are prettier. Wire shelves were better for air circulation but new refrigerators have fans to circulate air.
Does anyone remember HAVING TO DEFROST those old freezers before they invented auto defrost for modern ones? I do! What a mess. It was an all day project.
That vegetable suitcase is ridiculous. It looks heavy to lug back and forth to the sink and I don't believe it snaps in so easily in the door.
@@Uapa500
How heavy is that thing to lug back and forth. Does it really snap into place that easily????
@@Uapa500Older tech was generally designed to improve quality of life.
Lots of new tech is designed to sell "helping the environment" to excuse removing features
My refrigerator has pull-out shelves, but I don't think it's a common feature.
We need this fridge back. I saw another where the shelves swing out and other great features wow.
If they made that fridge still, they wouldn't be able to sell you another one every few years 🙄
It'll cost twice as much. Think about the cost cutting done overtime to make the throwaway items
70years on it has the features I need. So much for progress
So simple.. yet so beautiful..Olden times were sure good
*I love how ads actually showed the product back then*
It's like the polar opposite of mobile game ads...
Exactly. No “15 second” intro of watching someone walking down stairs for a late night snack, while a narrator points out stuff as they rummage through it. I don’t need a “real life” scenario. Just sell me the product
It's hard to show you the product when the product is:
A) A piece of shit
B) The same as before but somewhat different exterior
C) Literally worse in some aspect than other that are older
D) Some or all of the above
I remember a time when commercials mentioned the warranty information and guarantees as part of its features. Then it moved to the tail end of the ads. That then became super fine print or fast talk at the end. Then it was phased out altogether and we now get “Product……..a name you can trust”. Planned obsolescence is a real mofo these days
@@sportalero9032 I mean, you still get a lot of warranties, it's just that they end a lot of times just before the product break apart
This 1956 fridge is better then my current fridge 😂

I have a miele vacuum cleaner from late 80 that can both suck and blow air and no other new and modern miele vacuum cleaner have that dual feature today.

Yup. The old refrigerants ran at much lower pressures than modern ones. The compressors lasted forever.

Okay, the roll out shelves sound super convenient and should still be the standard today
Tell China this. You'll be paying 5k for this refrigerator today lol
I've seen a couple of the high end machines have them. I think they were discontinued because of a tipping hazard.
The mechanism behind it would cost the manufacturer 46 cents more.
Can't do that. It would either cut into profits or make the fridge more expensive by $50.
@@elaexplorerif the 800lb tool chest in my garage has roll out shelves why can't my fridge? It only allowed one drawer at a time, however I modified that because I'm smart enough to not open all simultaneously. I hate this safety feature to protect the dumbest user mentality we have developed.
@@elaexplorer Really? How heavy would the food have to be to tip over a fridge? I would think opening the door filled with food and drinks would yip it over too.

My mother bought a fridge in 1943 during WWII, when things like that were hard to get because of rationing. She was expecting my oldest sister, and that made enough difference that she was allowed to buy one.

😂😂 exactly
That fridge probably still works to this day too!
You're probably 100% right. This was before greed became rampant and products were designed to fail for greater profit
And that's the problem. Greed over need.
My grandfather (my mother's father) bought a fridge in the year 1965 (nineteen sixty five). My grandfather died in 2021.
The year is now 2024. and that fridge in his apartment (inherited by my mother) still works. Not even broken in any way, literally 100% functional.
That's...60 years. Fridge working for 6 decades. When my mother told me, I was speechless.
My grandmother and father both have old kitchen appliances that still work fine. We built a home and I got new LG appliances for my kitchen. Within a year 2 out of 4 needed repair because of faulty electrical parts. They are nice to look at but are cheaply made. Same with tvs. My grandmother still has a functioning box tv and we have been through at least 7 flat screens in the last 20 years. I think they are built to fail.
My parents had an old electric stove that they had for about 30 years. Still worked, but they wanted a new one. The new one had multiple failures over the next ten years. While my brother took their old one and it still worked without ever needing repair. He also had a very old fridge that was my grandmas from the 60s. It worked until he moved away.
I have an old (maybe 15 to 20 years) dishwasher. It has a few mechanical buttons and a knob to select the wash cycle. Use it every few days. Still works perfectly. Wouldn't trade it for one of those new computerized pieces of junk that the now sell. Mine will outlast those. :-)
My husband's younger brother has the frig they growing up. It was purchased in 1953. He has it in his shop and it stills works like a charm.

Old movies old advertisements and their elegant dresses and voices ....beautiful time period
I wish modern fridges had these features. My grandmother can't see what's in the fridge cause she can't bend far to look. The sliding shelves would help alot.
I've seen some with them, though not all the shelves, & they're on the higher price range. My dad's old fridge he just got rid of had a different ice trick, they were just knobs/dials you tuned & the ice fell out, but the sound broke & one & they didn't work for years.
She bends pretty damn far for me
They could make see thru main doors if they wanted 2. And having cameras covering each shelf with a screen on the front would be great.
The most annoying thing 2 me about fridges is always having 2 open the door and poke around 2 see what you've got. I'd rather just view it on a screen on the front.
They could also make one with a revolving escalator style where motors move shelves up on one side and down on the other. You'd never have 2 bend over again! 😊
Many fridges have sliding shelves, as well as made of glass so you can see through to the shelves and drawers below.
@@cyn4476 doesn't matter. When u have a ton of items on a clear shelf, u can't see beneath. Also, those glass shelves depending what is on them is heavy for my grandmother to pull. They need to be on wheels if she is ever to see what's on them. Also if u pull a glass shelf with items on it and it's not locked in like drawers, it's common sense it will fall and break. Especially if it's heavy and u can't stop it from falling

This is a hundred times better than any refrigerator I have seen these days!
Those stupid 50 50 doors cuts down refrigerator space slot
In business school we learned about doing market research, but the more I look around I don't think many or any companies are doing any market research these days. They're more interested in snake oil salesman tactics and half baked products to all for more frequent sales.
I would love it if we could get the EPA to regulate some sort of rebate or tax break, for products that last 30 years. Because the environmental cost of manufacturing, and then shipping multiple refrigerators over the course of a lifetime Is surely more polluting than however much an energy stat rating saves.
I have to do the 50-50 doors on my refrigerator and a bottom freezer due to the space that I have to work with. That said once I bought the fridge that would fit my space, I had to buy my cheese drawer, meat drawer, and other storage separately, yet for some reason it hooks up to my cell phone to tell me when the door is left open or The electricity is out.

If they kept making them last 50 years they would be out of business. They make them last 10 years so they can keep selling them to people. Also if they cut features they can make them for less money. It's all about planned obsolescence and profit margins.
Cost cutting, and optimizing electricity consumption. These might last forever, but the electricity usage is wild! We had an early 60's one in the summer house that just kept on chugging along, but when electricity prices started rising, we replaced it, and ended up paying back the new one in two years in savings!

That is such an amazing fridge, i need that in my life ❤❤❤
So amazing, old is gold
This refrigerator model needs to re-release in 2024
Right😢
After re-releasing this model the price will be sky high
Ya it seems so reliable and strong than today's models, if they put Ai then in it and make it smart, then obvio sky high

Yes
@@sk_080What brand?
The woman is Bess Myerson. She won the Miss America pageant in 1945 and later became a NYC Commissioner and served further with several presidential commissions. She lived to the ripe old age of 90.
Thank you for that tidbit.
YOU SIR, answered the question I was thinking about!
@@Theomite I didn't mention that she was also gorgeous, but I figured you knew that already.
She also had a daytime talk show briefly.
A beauty pageant with a brain? Very commendable indeed!
Now that's how a ad should be. Explain and demonstrate your product.
Thats really amazing and full of features that any refrigerator need
This is what an ad should be. It talks about the performance of the product and doesn't try to guilt trip you into buying it.
Agree!
Yeah and no weird storylines or metaphors
I love how straight forward this advertisement is
I've argued for years that this would be such a breath of fresh air in the modern advertising landscape that the product would get a serious boost in sales
We settled for less, and asked for the wrong upgrades. Do you think boycott/market can adjust itself? Someone came up with this awesome design...and he was an early bird.
no bullshit, straight to the features because the product will sell itself. Now they need tons of bullshit and marketing tricks so we can buy their useless crap.
No porn, no dancing, no frivolity. And people where happy.
@@osmacar5331you sure about that?
They should bring this back in every fridge
This looks more advanced refrigerator as I have now😂😂
I bought a house in 2005 and the former owner left me a 1948 Kelvinator in the basement. Made in America. All steel. Still runs perfectly!!
Actually wow
Bet you couldn't get it out of the basement either!
@@hoosierpioneer Haven't tried, but I'm definitely guessing that's why they left it! It's solid!!
Impressive but isnt it using a ton of electricity compared to new ones?
@@Bjorn_R Far less than an EV. Lol
I don't know what's more impressive the fridge or the elegance of the classy lady❤
All of the above.
Women used to be this way normally. Now they're the opposite. 🗑️
But, you didn't see her before she took her curlers out and put her makeup on, not to mention the corsetry that squeezed her into that "classy" shape. Trust me, ordinary women, real women, didn't look like that!
@@whitesapphire5865 It's not about her looks, it's about her attitude and behavior.
Exactly my thoughts. @@KingStr0ng
Best ad can be seen on social media these days
The way people talked back then is so different and beautiful ❤️❤️
Both ad and refrigerator are greater than today's era 😂😂😅...
And women too.
@@treelinehugger i agree 👍 naughty men 😂
Proof that the function was more important than the form.
I miss the old appliances.
No reason we can't have both.
@@Arbidarbthat's not always true sometimes you can't have both
@@jedivssith6491 It's true most of the time, and definitely with refrigerators. It would be easy as heck to make a nice looking modern fridge have these features.
@@clangboomsteam i believe their durability more than current one. nowdays i bough em only with plastic tray 😢
@@clangboomsteam And the worst part is, those old refrigerators only lasted 30 or 40 years! How pathetic is that? It saves a lot of energy to remanufacture a new unit every 5 years instead. Some of the new, fancy Chinese refrigerators are lasting almost 2 years! Even better! Our landfills aren't full yet. We must try harder!
Did anyone else notice how Practical & advanced that refrigerator is compared to Modern ones ?
This is how ads should be. Just a simple and clear explanation of what the product is. And the fridge is great too!
WTF how is it that this is so much better designed and more solid than the ones 60 years later?
Because companies make more money when their stuff breaks. Or when you get more money and need a better one because the cheaper ones all suck.
My friend, let me regale you with a non-fiction tale called Late Stage Capitalism ......😅😅😥
@@Shogun1982 capitalism does not have stages. What stage were ancient humans in when they invented writing systems to handle accounting?
@@tripplefives1402communists believe that the outcome of history is pre determined(global communism) and that we are close, we have been since marxs day😂
@@thisishisbubbles9362that 50s refrigerator cost the equivalent of $10,000. By making refrigerators cheaply built everyone can have one
My Aunt still had her beautiful aqua stove and refrigerator in the 90s. I remembered them from the 50s. I always loved the aqua color. Unforgettable for a child.
My nana has the same 💜 reminds me of my childhood.
@@youcancallmestephI'm glad you have sweet, good and wholesome memories to reminiscent. 💚
I love these kinds of memories. And scents take me to a place too
Those times were hard times for Black people. I wasn’t born yet but I’ve heard many stories that Caucasians don’t want talked about today!
@@TheMostHighDaughter180You must be fun at parties
I won't need a freaking refrigerator with Netflix, this is what we actually expect from a refrigerator, a FREAKING refrigerator
Don't know what to appreciate more; the refrigerator or the ad
I need refrigerator like this where whole kind of needs are being fulfilled and also this kind of ads where there's actually information of the items
Your grammar is terrible. 😂

@michelle.shackelford4520 I'll bet that English isn't his first language, but he can speak at least two languages. When I learned Spanish I did just fine, but it was German where I struggled with grammar.
Besides that, I didn't know we were having a grammar contest today.
@@michelle.shackelford4520Maybe she marches to a different drummer and talks and writes in her own unique way.
Not everybody needs to be the same.
