My neighbors mother as a kid worked at the Sylvania plant in Bangor in a pretty good paying job. I know they got light bulbs and a Sylvania Color TV. They had a Maytag washer. I am sure if Elsie could get more at a discount from them she would before she retired and saw the ominous writing on the wall.

The washer is a Kelvinator. It looks just like all the old Leonard machines that Otasco used to sell here in Oklahoma and the surrounding area. Leonard is one of the rebadged names Kelvinator made. |

That Sylvania TV pictured, reminds me of the ones that used to be awarded as the "grand prize" on the original "BEAT THE CLOCK" back in the 1950's, except those were console models. |

Bruce, if it's like à Kelvinator, then I need to search for that! My grandpa worked for Northern Electric and he was a great fan of Leonard appliances and later Kelvinator. Even if the later ones he bought were WFI junk!
I have to say that when he retired, he bought Inglis laundry and dishwasher and also an Inglis range, He still had an old Leonard fridge and a newer Kelvinator fridge and chest freezer. |
