General Mills "Tru-Heat" Iron, circa 1950
- General Electric "Hi-Speed Calrod Moderne Automatic Iron," 1940 - When Edward Somers, an electrician, and his wife Mary of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, purchased this iron in May 1940, they chose one of General Electric's top-of-the-line models. The Moderne's curved form and smooth surface reflected Streamline aesthetic, an aspect of Art Deco design that emerged in the 1930s. This iron was attractive -- and, apparently, durable. The Somers family used it into the 1970s.
