This ad says that they are "Commemorating The One Millionith Hotpoint Electric Range" and they have a picture of The Aristocrat which they claim was Number One Million. The ad says that "A Million Homes Have Found A Better Way To Cook" and the text follows. "It may come as real news that a single manufacturer has produced One Million Electric Ranges. Certainly it will surprise those who still consider the electric range a luxury. But Hotpoint's million electric ranges were not purchased as luxury items. They were the choice of money-smart women who sought a cleaner, better, easier way to cook. It is gratifying to have pioneered this essential improvement in the living standards of a nation. We thank the million women who believe with us that electricity is the truly clean and modern method for cooking as well as lighting. Today's Hotpoint Electric Ranges set a new high standard of convenience and dependability. Food starts to cook in less than half a minute. Calrod Hi-Speed units provide five measured heats to suit every kind of cooking. Such features as all-porcelain enamel finish, flavor-seal oven and thrift cooker may be had in models that sell as low as $89.95 at the factory. As Hotpoint begins production on its second million electric ranges we are able, because of the rich fund of manufacturing experience and skill, to lower prices and give greater values than ever before. This will bring the convenience and cleanliness of electric cooking into more millions of homes. To commemorate this great event, replicas of the Aristocrat, Hotpoint's Millionth Electric Range, are now on display throughout the country in stores where electric appliances are sold. Be sure to see these beautiful new ranges. Discover how completely Hotpoint has provided a cleaner, better, easier way to cook automatically.

Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for their Electric Ranges. This ad has a picture of a mother and her daughter cooking at least five different things in the oven. The ad talks about the Safety Top that "'minds' the kiddies" and the picture shows that this unit has four burner units at the back of the top which leaves room in the front for Mom to work or daughter to rest her arm without getting burned. The text talks about this Safety Top, about the Divided Top which is a normal layout and the Cluster Top which has all four burners grouped to one side. The ad also claims that this unit has the "Largest Oven and Storage Space of them all!". This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.

Tappan
Red and white 9 1/2" x 13" ad for their Fabulous 400 Ovens. The ad introduces the "Tappan Fabulous 400 Gift Certificate Sale!" and claims that "From now until Christmas...the first $45.00 you put toward the purchase of a Fabulous 400 is a gift from your Tappan dealer". The ad text talks about this being a "reach-in oven, the fact that they were available in gas or electric and that the 40-inch model is shown in the ad and that a 30-inch model was available too. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
