Cool Ad Malcolm, looks like early 70s, back in the good days when utilities companies and appliance companies were both vying for your business.

So cute!

It is Sally Struthers.  I guess this was before All in the Family.

 

This SQ dryer was so popular in New Orleans. Every home from my childhood seemed to have one.

I guess there was a special at one time from the gas company.

 

I remember the burner door on top of the dryer.  I loved to open it and watch the flame. 

 

Great video find!

 

Gone are the days.....

2 things:

If you look closely at what she throws into the dryer, it already looks dry, not dripping like when she entered the tent.

If our neighbor's experience with a Speed Queen dryer is anything to go on, it needed more servicing than our GE.
