Hey Gang - Portions of this brochure has been posted by members previously - now here is your chance to enjoy dreaming of making a purchase of a brand new 1964 Maytag - with the full-line brochure! If only those days weren't just a distant memory for some of us - to others (like myself) we can only enjoy those idealism's with instruments such as this campy brochure. Enjoy the next 15 pages! Ben |

Thats cool Ben! Thanks for posting all that! Larger families drank Kool-Aid in the summer back then.We never had soda pop or chips at our house unless my parents were hosting a party. Then us kids got the left over snack items the next morning. I think it was like that for most families that had more than a couple kids. (we had four) The mothers tried to make the most of the grocery dollars, so snacks and sodas were seldom purchased. Lots of Kool-Aid ,iced tea, crackers, and cookies from scratch though. Wonder what dad was smoking in that pipe..... Oh yeah, the weed came a few years later. Like around 1966. Sure is a "baby boomer" sales flyer. I am sure that is what the marketing people were targeting with "the family" shown in every page. |

Never knew that Maytag offered a soak to wash. What a surprise! Wondering how they introduced the second dose of soap. Was there a water flushed dispenser like the LK's, and did this feature last? Really stunned to learn this. Wow, how neat. Hope to hear and see more about this. Rick: Spotted the Kool-aid immediately, too. And yeah that, too was before Electric Acid Kool-aid. Geoff, isn't it odd that they never mention or show the famous monster pump on the Wringers? Again, Ben, thanks, what a great bedtime read! And now to dream of washing machines hmmmmmmm and a Tag with auto soak&soap zzzzzzzzzzzz and BEER says Homer Simpson. |

Pop and such was not only expensive, in some cases entirely alien to our parents, depending upon when or how they were brougth up. My parents insisted pop was not good for you, neither was too much of any other sweetened drinks. Soda was rarely in our home,unless like the above poster there was some sort of event such as a BBQ or party, and even then Mama sat on our chests (how many of those have you had today?) Iced tea and lemonade were more common during the summer. However at meals we children had the usual trinity of milk, water and perhaps orange juice ( the last mainly with breakfast and lunch). Kool-Aid in the tiny unsweetened packets wasn't that bad, however the pre-sweetened stuff could put one into insulin shock! Anyone remember the film "House Party" where the kid is making Kool-Aid, pouring half a five pound bag of sugar into the pitcher? *LOL* |

Before Vietnam, Watergate, the Sexual Revolution, Civil Rights and other mayhem of the 1960's and 1970's. Life was good in those post war years! A man was king of his castle, and wifey got lots of new appliances to play with as compensation for being kicked out of the workforce when the boys came home. *LOL* Now if one only had a time machine to go back and nab a few of those wonderful machines, MIB! If you walked around Newton,Iowa then telling Maytag people one day the company would be owned by Whirlpool, you'd probably have been run out of town on a rail, if not tarred and feathered first. |

"Also - what in the heck is the youngest daughter riding?" Ah, you weren't around back then, were you? What the little lady is riding is a Huckleberry Hound riding toy, based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character. The red colour threw me for a minute- in his cartoons, Huck was blue, but we didn't know that until we got colour TV's, which is probably why a toy manufacturer could get away with making him red. The little snap-brim hat and the bow tie around his neck are the giveaways. I'm including a Wikipedia link to Huck's page. "The biggest show in town is Huckleberry Hound For all you guys and gals. The biggest clown in town is Huckleberry Hound With all his cartoon pals. It's Huckleberry fun, it's for everyone, So come on, gather 'round. Get yourself all set, Turn on your TV set For Huckleberry Hound. That oh, so merry, Chuckleberry, Huckleberry Hound!" CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK |

The young lady probably has her hand over Huck's nose so that enough of his face is obscured to eliminate the chance that Hanna-Barbera might claim unauthorised use of their character. It's definitely Huck, possibly a Western Auto toy, because WA had some merchandising efforts tied into Hanna-Barbera stuff. One year, their whole catalogue featured the Jetsons. All Hanna-Barbera character names copyright, Marca Registrada, and TM. Your mileage may vary. Offer void where prohibited. Batteries not included. This is Gary Olsen speaking. |

Maytags never required second doses of detergent. The water for the soak and wash were the same. The machine went from soak to wash without changing the water. My '97 Dependable Care and my '87 real 'tag do the same.... |

Does this model ask us to put liquid detergent in the famous Maytag rinse conditioner cup? |

I stand corrected. Indeed I am wrong.......but, IIRC, later models didn't mention this in the instructions (perhaps after the introduction of enzyme detergents in the late '60's)...but I could be wrong about this, too..... |

Ben, That was so great to see that brochure again. I remember my Mother bringing that brochure home when she bought her A502S/De502 set in Decmber of 1964. Of course I was miffed because she didn't buy the 702 set. Roger |

You could add liquid detergent to the fabric softener dispenser cup in the agitator to dispense after the pre-wash spin. There was no drain/spin between the soak cycle and the main wash so there would be no need to use the cup-dispenser then. I use the soak & wash cycle a lot on my 806. Pre-wash, pause, spin, fill, soak, main wash.... This was probably one of the last brochures that the Maytag combination was featured - not too long after, Maytag recalled them all. If you owned one and were willing to give it back, they would replace it with a TOL washer and dryer at no charge. That must have cost them a fortune! |
