Welcome to This Day In Appliance-Buying History as Allan Appel and Jason Bischoff-Wurstle of the New Haven Museum time travel you back to Christmas time 1916 when the United Illuminating Company was eager for the housewives of New Haven to put away their washboards and instead invest big time in their whole array of new electrical appliances, including a washing machine that put clothes through the wringer, and, yes, an electric vibrator to relax with after the wash is done.
