GE Partio Cart User's Manual, circa 1960
Add to SetSummary
Outdoor cooking and eating were part of the suburban lifestyle many Americans enjoyed after World War II. In its day, the upscale Partio was perhaps the ultimate backyard cooking appliance -- an all-in-one electric range, charcoal barbeque, and rotisserie. User's manuals -- like this one that accompanied the Partio owned by President Eisenhower -- instructed owners on the proper care and operation of this outdoor cooking center.
