New inventions of household items were very popular and helpful in the 1920's. New Inventions were important because the newer forms of advertisement gave costumers easier ways of knowing about products and people outside of cities knew more about the products which caused a new consumer cultural to arise. These new inventions were also important because many of these inventions we still use today. Vacuum cleaners, toasters, washing machines, and refrigerators all helped women with house work and cut back on the time it takes to get it done. These were especially targeted at middle class women because they were designed to appeal to the new "American Homemaker." These new inventions connect to Theme number 4, "It's not what you do, it's who notices." I feel that these connect to that theme because people wanted to have new machines to show how special and popular they were. If they had the new "toy" people would know that they had money and become jealous of them, therefore making their image greater.
