Love them! Probably one of my favorite WP designs. My Nanny had the set ... but replaced the washer in the mid 60's ... but that wonderful dryer lasted into the early 80's. I rememeber it had a "lint box" mounted on the backside. Such 50's style! | ||

OH PETE, so there is a washer man inside you after all! Yay! Loved the butch chick behind the typewriter, so Ellen De Generesque, and the deep red shiny surgilator, and the double control towers on the prototype, But the real treat comes to the patient viewer, full disclosure of how the Almighty Suds-Return came to be. Fabulous to learn all the engineers went thru to get it right--HELMETS--what a riot!
And on a doctrinal note: here we have proof that the suds-return was integral to the very first Whirlpool Automatic. They did not release the machine until they figured out how to re-use hot suds. Enlightening stuff. Thanks, Pete. | ||

How Cliche
Bunch of the gals sitting around jibber-jabbing about how they are married to the most tight-fisted SOB's to walk the earth and bemoaning living in the "dark ages".
In steps "Mother" a woman who by age and experience as a married woman knows how to handle a husband. Her advice? Time worn leave a man alone to fend for himself for awhile (usually with the children), and he'll see the light soon enough. Odd thing really, it works! *LOL* | ||

My grandmother lived in her house until the age of 98 when she fell, broke her hip and since then has been living in long term care (she is now 103). She never had an automatic washer either. I remember she had a wringer washer on 4 legs (no idea of the make) and then my mom gave her our wringer washer (again no idea of the make) after we got a Maytag in the mid '60s. Eventually my grandmother got a Hotpoint twin tub (I think it was a Hotpoint...it has the square dials and an agitator). My grandmother's house has been empty since she went into the hospital but when I went back there last summer, the twin tub was still in the porch. Almost everything else had been removed from the house.
