Westinghouse — "You Can Be Sure...If It's Westinghouse" Framed Vintage Advertisement, c. 1950s (11x15)

A framed original Westinghouse advertisement, c. 1950s — featuring the brand's iconic tagline "You Can Be Sure...If It's Westinghouse." The bold yellow and blue design centers on the Westinghouse electric range — "So Fine...So Fast...So Sure!" — with a roast visible through the oven window and surrounding illustrations of the full Westinghouse appliance lineup: refrigerator, laundromat, dryer, water heater, and more. Professionally framed in black with glass, 11x15 inches. Ready to hang.

Westinghouse Electric was founded by George Westinghouse in Pittsburgh in 1886 — the same man who championed alternating current against Edison's direct current in the "War of Currents" of the 1880s. By the postwar 1950s, Westinghouse was one of the dominant forces in American consumer appliances, and the "You Can Be Sure" campaign — launched in the late 1940s and running through the 1960s — became one of the most recognized taglines in American advertising history. This electric range ad is a document of the postwar domestic boom: a moment when the American kitchen was being reimagined as a technological showcase, and Westinghouse was promising to furnish all of it.

The kind of piece that works in a kitchen, a laundry room, a mid-century modern interior, or anywhere that appreciates a well-designed piece of American commercial art. One available.
