I had the original copy of this sent to me (not the catalog but the history of Frigidaire which is in this catalog) from Mr. Ferill who was the vice president at Frigidaire Sales Corporation Mid Atlantic region which,at that time,was in Philadelphia, Pa.It has all the "FRIGIDAIRE FIRSTS",products made and different historical events that took place in that complete era from 1912-1969.That was the year I received the literature from Mr Ferill.Years later (1995),when I was at Incredible Universe in Hollywood, Fl., the regional manager of Frigidaire ,George,came to talk to us regarding the new line up and sent email to Phila.regarding my high sales there and some issues I was having at that time with damaged merchandise sent to us from Georgia mostly upright and chest freezers.Mr Ferill recognized my name and immediately phoned to speak directly. His first words to me were "I knew you'd become a salesman but am glad to see you made it big time. I am retiring in a few months and glad to see there are still loyal fans,like yourself,out there selling our products.You'll be surprised and happy to see our new front loaders which are being manufactured as we speak and should be released this coming fall.I'll need your address to send you a few promo items I have accumulated over the decades I've been here.Take care and keep up the great salesmanship I knew you always had!" I was so surprised and in awe because I had no idea he was still with Frigidaire. There had been many loyal workers who lost their jobs after the WCI takeover but,he was able to step down a notch and stay with them.So,this is a copy as well as added info of the original promo flyer that Frigidaire always sent to curious folks who were interested in the history of one of America's favorite appliance brands.This one is far from being as well documented and written as the originals were.I'm not sure if this particular seller was a former Frigidaire employee or not.
