GEC Magnet Electric Fires at Reduced Prices : leaflet : General Electric Co. Ltd. : London : September 1932 : fires and prices

            A sales leaflet, issued as publication D.6342, by the British General Electric Company in September 1932 showingt he special offers on a range of their "Magnet" electric fires. Such domestic electrical appliances were gaining in popularity by the early 1930s as more households began to be connected to mains electricity and the price of such appliances became more afffordable, often thanks to electricity undertakings offering 'terms' to help bolster sales.

The various fires shown range from basic free-standing models to those designed for fireplace use, replacing the open fire. The then common use of a trivet to enable a kettle or pan to be used on the fire is also shown; imagine the HSE implications of such a practice now! The GEC were one of the UK's major electrical concerns and they manufactured an enormous range of products from industrial goods to domestic appliances such as these; the latter were often marketed under the Magnet brand.
