She told me that in 1949 electric toasters were such a delight to have, a novelty you might say, a different era completely in things that were precious to own.
My mother loved toast. I knew this because my mother has had toast at night for as long as I can remember with a little glass of milk.
Well, the story goes that my daddy wanted a little girl so (he came from a family of 6 brothers and 1 sister)...anyway, daddy told mama that if she had baby girl that he would buy her a brand new shiny "electric toaster" from Montgomery Wards.
I can still see that shiny 1950's toaster sitting in the corner of the counter in her little kitchen! Priceless to me.
