I just loaded into the Ephemera Library the 32 page 1959 Speed Queen Facts of Superiority Book. It is just filled with beautiful images of Speed Queen washer parts and lots of great information about why Speed Queen was better. There is a great comparison of the Speed Queen design to both the Whirlpool/Kenmore and GE Filter-Flo designs. I highly recommended this one if nothing else just for the adorable graphics alone!

I love the references to Sewerage in relation to the recirculation of water from the Whirlpool and GE. That's highlighted by the Smelly Whirlpool :) Funnily enough though, there is no mention of needing to clean the Speed Queen filter, just that it exists :) | ||

 Jon-- I picked this one up too, and it's awesome! On recirculating sewage: That elicited a chuckle from me, as well. The clothes are washing in the same water; what's the harm in recirculating it to filter out lint?
Full confession: When I was a kid, I used to steal washer and dryer manuals from neighbors and my parents' friends. How awful is that?! Had quite a collection by the time I was a teenager. This is one of several reasons I have a lot of karmic reparation to work through before I kick off, LOL. | ||

I know...I was quite the operator back in the day. Used to steal manuals from machines in stores, too. Had a smooth technique, if I may say so, myself. Fortunately, my conscience prevailed before anything led to reform school. Can you imagine explaining that rap to a room full of street toughs? "What are you in for?" "Stealing appliance manuals." My dance card would have been full 24/7, LOL.

Eugene for shame! Explaining to reform toughs reminds me of the time we were in Aberdeen picking the washer farm. That night eating at the "Heffer Trough", where they weighed you going in and out and calculated your bill,- We were all gathered around eating when this big Heffer came over and said to the table
No one outside applianceville gets it LOL ! | ||

There was a group of enthusiasts gathered to discuss and celebrate their mutual interest. A visit to Sears was involved to examine a then new-on-the-market product. One of the group expressed a desire to obtain a copy of the product's user guide for a thorough recounting and memorization of the operating routine and options. Thus, another member of the group obliged by swiping the documentation from the display model ... unbeknownst to the target recipient until the group had exited the store and was in their vehicle back to headquarters ... at which point everyone had a nice case of the vapors! | ||

What got worse in Omaha?? I don't think THAT was at a store though...
I have a Sears sales item here from around the time of which you speak. Is that where it came from? Oh well. I've never been shy about piling up a stack of brochures, salesperson training manuals, etc. and bringing them home. Retail giant capitalist propaganda that would otherwise end up in a trash can. It's really like rescue and preservation ;-) Clearly, the salespeople aren't reading the remaining copies of their training materials anyway. LOL | ||

There was another "incident" that occurred somewhere around Quinnipiac by a group of rangy individuals, one a foreign national I might add. A certain shall we say "dormant" house was "broached" and a certain device was "unbolted"from its moorings and "liberated" by the group who wheeled it home at high speed under the cover of deception in broad daylight.
After many attempts to revive the beast, it finally inflamed itself in a small conflagration and was scrapped for safety's sake. | ||
