Those washer/dryer combos look sweet! But, really, couldn't they have mounted the door a little lower? My dwarf is going to have to stand on something to load and unload that thing.
Were the regular automatic washers being manufactured by Hotpoint in Chicago? That's a Hotpoint cabinet and cabinet top and all of the features sound suspiciously identical to the Silhouettes. Even that lame "sediment ejector". What gives? |

The dryers look to be Hotpoint also. |

I think this is right after Easy was sold to Hupp. 65-66'ish? Easy automatic washer production stopped and they were sourced from Hotpoint. In the very late 60's, the Easy name was sold to White Sewing Machine Co. along with Kelvinator, and others and within a short time became White Consolidated Industries.

Thanks for posting this Greg! It is a treat to be reminded of the days when appliances were designed with a lot more styling and finish that we see today. |

Easy was, in fact, sold to the Hupp Corporation (along with Gibson, the refrigerator/freezer/A-C/range maker). When WCI took them over, the Easy brand name was eliminated, and replaced with the Gibson brand name, for consistency. |
