Hey Gang - What a better way to beat the snow storm blues than with some fun Maytag brochures! These seem to have been falling from the sky lately - and they are so fun. I'll post one this evening then later in the week I'll post another one. I'll start off with the early stuff - some post War brochures for some wringers including very early Model E instructions. Enjoy! First up - doing misplace your Warranty Bond! "Remove by unscrewing knob..."

Okay - now for the instructions!
These are actually pretty fun. I personally did not know what the various positions of the wringer handle meant - now I do! There will be some fun hit and miss instructions on this as well - including the signature of Fred II. I think there is a date of 1945 on the instructions. I bet the factory was just begging to start production on washers and be gone with the B2 Bomber parts!

WARNING - use Maytag Multi-Motor oil ONLY
This is the best page - instructions on how to start your Multi-Motor. I would love to someday find a Model E with an original Model 92 engine on it - that would be a fascinating machine! Notice the instruction on how to prepare the mixture - how to start and stop. Can you imagine a regular household using this today? Where do I sign up! ;-) Note the 7-16-45 print date. Very interesting.

Well, what good stuff! What would be the advantage of the square tub over the round one, since the mechnics look identical? I am thinking capacity? | ||

Looks to Me...
...Like Maytag's artist had just seen Mildred Pierce- whaddya think? I mean, is that Joan, or what? Ben, Mercurochrome was similar to iodine, but it stung less. At least a little less. It was very common when I was a kid in the late '50s and early '60s. We didn't have any kind of no-sting antiseptic until Bactine came along. Mercurochrome did stain just as bad as iodine, though.

It's GOTTA Be Joan:
August 15th, 1947 Miss Veda Pierce Inmate 22-497841 California Institution for Women Tehachapi, California Dearest Veda- You will NEVER guess all the things that are going on! Has it really been two years since you left? For one thing, Bert and I remarried (remind me to tell you about how I got him to break it off with Mrs. Biederhof sometime), so I'm back on Corvallis Street. The house isn't as grand as the old Beragon place, but it's sweet and cozy. And I must say I don't miss the bills- they took every penny I could make from the restaurants. Wally Faye can HAVE them. We've made some changes, though. Your Daddy bought me a wonderful new Maytag washing machine, and as soon as Lottie learned how to operate it, she was so thrilled she took all her little savings and bought one for herself. She started taking in washing from other people, and now she has a string of laundries called Lottie's Home Style Washing, with dozens of Maytags churning away, and dozens of people working for her! I guess she kept her eyes and ears open while she was helping me with Mildred's, hmm? I went last week to put flowers on dear Monte's grave, but I've decided not to take Ida with me any more. The last time, she said, "Monte's not dead- he's hiding from Veda!" That Ida and her wisecracks. I always say that she has more smart remarks up her sleeve than I have grey hairs over you, dear. NOT that I let them show! Joke. Did you get the money I sent? Like I told you last letter, we sold your Chevrolet; cars are in such demand nowadays, and it brought a whole $500. I sent it to be put in your commissary account for cigarettes, the way you asked. How much ARE you smoking, dear? Speaking of which, the Institution told me that I wasn't to send you that cigarette case Monte gave you, as you asked me to do. Something about "making a shiv" out of it. What on earth is that? Anyway, I must run. Bert and I are going to see the new Tarzan picture. Johnny Weissmuller is getting a potbelly. Bert says Weissmuller isn't nearly as good as Herman Brix was when HE played Tarzan. Please write when you can, dear, and remember, it's only twenty-three short years until I have my darling daughter back with me! Your Mommie, Mildred Pierce- no longer Beragon.

Ben thanks for the fun ads, I loved the pictures. Just wonder what "French Chalk" is as it was suggested for Grease and oil removal. Sure never heard of rubbing lard into a oil or tar stain either. | ||
