Editors believed their magazines could change lives

Looks like the blurbs for pictures were swapped.

That is simply in no way a kitchen from 1889. In fact, though I don't actually think so, it could plausibly be a kitchen from 1989, of someone who likes to have a few retro items around. Rotary phones were still common; the only thing looking out of place for 1989 is that two-knob radio. Someone could easily have had that for 30 years (it's an older person's kitchen), or picked one up at a flea market or garage sale for fun. Stoves not very different from that one are still available today as low-end units. In run-down rental apartment buildings, you can still run into ones that have analog clocks.

The image URL has 1948 in it.

I'm intrigued to know more about this.

I remember Steve Jobs showing the 1st Ipad with his argument to own one: 'Look! there will be interactive books!' and showed one -But there weren't... so I never bought one. Last time i thought about this (old) story was as somebody sold a truckload used one-armed, mobile roboters with a 2 hours battery holding a tablet-pc, for under US$1.000 -but without the tablet ^^

But, btt Storyline (crossreading) was:

'In the 1890s..." Updated (!) In modern times some people may like to behave having tendencies or concrete plans to extend their influence. Some of'em want to offer you a -ideology-(crossed out) um modern times [^^] -I would like to call it 'lifestyle'.
