Flashback to the 1950s! Have you ever heard of The Gold Medallion Electric Home Campaign? It was an extremely successful nationwide campaign led by General Electric and Westinghouse corporations! Back in the post-World War 2 era, utility companies were racing to meet the surging demand for electricity. Homes were awarded prestigious Medallions for their commitment to embracing the electric lifestyle. To earn the coveted Live Better Electrically Medallion emblem, a house had to be fully powered by electricity. The kitchen also had to feature an electric range or built-in oven and surface units, along with an electric refrigerator and/or refrigerator/freezer. Imagine the buzz and excitement as households competed to earn this symbol of modernity and progress! Did your grandparents or great-grandparents participate in this electrifying campaign? Or, do you have a Medallion at home? Direct message us - we'd love to hear more about this awesome campaign and how it impacted you. #smud #sacramento #california #community #gold #medallion #homes #campaign #1950s #video #fyp #fun #photos #electrcity #history #gogreen #zerocarbon #2030 #jointhecharge
