Has anyone every seen one of these? The advertisment is from 1955. |

Perhaps one of the Iowa guys will know for sure, but I think Laundry Queen and One Minute were Iowa-based companies. I've seen more than a handful of One Minute wringer washers. I would also venture to guess that there was a very similar Coronado branded washer. All of their early washers were straight from the Beam factory too, like Hotpoint, Speed Queen, etc. |

The plant idea is interesting, also it could be a simple mistake. It looks awfully cheesy (like a paste-up job) and the hinge isn't the same as the Coronado. Maybe, this was a mock-up used for approvals, the Speed Queen co-op contract called for a placement, the product manager called for "that queen" advertisement, and presto...Speed Queen became Laundry Queen. What publication was this in? |

Guys, If you look at the bottom of the Laundry Queen ad you can see that there is some copy that didn't make it into the scan. I bet that is the blurb telling about the features of the Laundry Queen since I have never seen one of this style Tide COmmercial that did not include a plug for the manufactures washer pictured in the ad..

I rescanned the picture. It is from a Ladies Home Journal, May 1955. The magazine is oversized and hard to scan. (I'm not very computer savy either).Oh and to Decodriveboy I knew that one would be comeing from someone. |

The woman's hair in the picture is a disaster, and grandma's dress in previous post looks like a used nautical patchwork bedspread in the steerage comparment of the Titanic. What a horrible ad. We hope the Tide washes them all away. |
