Time, Labor, Money . . . we’re making a visit today to the Unitor exhibit at the 1934 National Electrical and Radio Exposition. Unitor Corporation was a Detroit-based manufacturer of this household appliance, which it marketed as a ‘centralized multiple appliance’. The machine was a combination clothes washer, clothes dryer, dishwasher, iron and press, and food processor. The National Electrical and Radio Exposition was held in New York City at Madison Square Garden from September 19th to the 29th, and was organized by the Electrical Association of New York. It was one of the annual radio and electronic products trade shows held in the city in the 1920s through the 1940s. Similar radio expositions during the era were hosted in other major U.S. cities sponsored by local trade associations that brought together manufacturers, retailers, and customers.The expositions included national manufacturers and large retailers from around the country to display, demonstrate, and sell their products.
