This image is from the back cover of the Dec. 1942 BHG issue. The large picture is of "The Victory Kitchen, complete with Hotpoint Range, Refrigerator, Electric Dishwasher, Sink and Hotpoint Steel Cabinets, costs so little many $6,oo0 homes now enjoy them." The small inset is of the "Daffodil Kitchen" it is for a $4,000 home and didn't have a dishwasher. I didn't even know they had dishwashers back then.
