HaHa. Ernest won't be a hundred for another 4 years. He's got to be one of few televangelists that have never been put in prison for tax evasion or other "indiscretions". But he does own a 747 registered in Aruba so he may be looking over his shoulder.

The hardware store I worked at the summer of '77 sold both Frigidaire and Maytag. Swallen's (a large Cincinnati appliance/general merchandise store) also sold both for many years, in addition to Whirlpool, Westinghouse, Admiral and others. |

Good info. Never knew of that those Brands were mixed among each other. Thought they were huge rivals? Actually, the proprietor would have leaned one way or the other. Be hard to explain the Maytag quality, then explain Frigidaire in the same breath. Bet they lied a lot, told the customer exactly what they wanted to hear. |

At that hardware store, I helped deliver about 10 Maytag washers, but only remember one Frigidaire. The manager pushed Maytag to everyone for laundry equipment, but they sold quite a bit of Frigidaire ranges, refrigerators and A.C.s. |

Tom, Maybe they had both, Frigidaire & Maytag as a marketing technique? As you mentioned, delivered Maytag washers, but only one Frigidaire (husband prolly worked for Cadillac as a salesman) . Got it, Hello! Had to have the Frigidaire Washers and Dryers in the store if you were going to advertise Frigidaire appliances and A/C units. Come one come all. So, everyone knew that Maytag was best in washing, and Frigidaire was best in cooking and refrigeration. Sounds like a gold pot. Makes sense to me now. Just never had ANY experiences with the two rivals in the same bar room (without a fight). |

I have personally had, 1965 Rollermatic, 1978 1-18, and their matching dryers. Also had non working unimatic with it's matching dryer. Gave away those. The Maytag's are still in use today as my daily drivers. The Frigidaire's have been sold off. Not that they weren't fun, did not like all that noise and problems that came along with them. My choice! |

Hans, Aside from Rich's, there were some independent appliance and furniture stores that sold Norge, but I cannot recall them right now. I will have to check an old classified pages to perhaps find that information. |
