And that doesn't necessarily mean hubby . Latest figures show a total of 426,000 automatic dishwashing machines in Canada - one in every 12 households = and the annual sales are approaching the $70,000 mark. Yet the idea of automated dishwashing is far from new. Newspaper advertisements in the late 1800's extolled the virtues of such a home appliance and claimed that it would ease the burden on overtaxed housewives. The early hand-operated dishwashers even con= tained some of the features which have since been incorporated into today's fully automatic units. The first dishwasher, patented in 1850 in Ogden, New York, when women's lib was hardly an issue, was cranked by hand. The invention was laughed at by some and condemned by others.
