Fireside Heater Vintage Israeli Cardboard Sign 1955
In those years there were no means of heating on electricity. Every house had a Fireside stove made by the “Friedman” brothers’ factory in Jerusalem, which is manufactured according to a license granted by the British FireSide factory.
The stove ran on oil that would be bought from an oil seller who would come to the neighborhoods on a cart. The whole method of lighting this stove required a unique skill. Usually, they would turn on the stove in the stairwell, because in the first few minutes of its operation, it would give off horrible smells.
