He may even have an Easy combo in the warehouse. As far as I know Easy made all of their own washers, but I can't say for sure regarding the combinations.
In this area, Western New York, the Spindriers were everywhere, but when the automatics cornered the market, I saw only one Easy automatic up here in all those years. With Arthur Godfrey in the ad, it must be the 50's ??. Love the "push one button." Be great to see and hear an Easy Combo in motion. |

The easy combo was totally built by Easy and the machine was very unique in many many ways. It did have about the largest capacity of any machine that was only 27" wide. I do have one of these machines thanks to the generosity of John E of Saint Paul Mn. It is as far as I know the only one in existence [ I keep hoping to find another one in better condition ] but the one we have could be restored. Easy in fact invested so heavily in combos that they predicted that combos would out sell automatic washers by the early 1960s, the heavy investment in combos may be what put Easy out of business.

Did anyone notice the male model holding a cigarette in this ad? Just an observation. |
