I guess I'm wondering if this thing actually fit the automatic machines, or if it was strictly for the older ringer-type machines.
I have a GE filter flow from the '70's. It is complete with filter flow basket and minibasket, as well as the fabric softener dispenser. It's been in storage for at least a decade now. Photos in my album here. | ||

A pone is a cross between a pudding and a bread Y'all might want to pipe Thread # 37556
A while back I bought one of these, which eBay accidentally sent to my cousin who is still giggling about my "Daily Dipper". It is SO not worth what they want for it, but, as I always say, collectors have their own economy. It's supposed to fit on top of a wringer Activator, although I still have to try it out on my Solid Tub FF.
Tom, my Grandmother did all of her own Dry Cleaning (probably with a lit Pall Mall in her mouth). She used Napthalene which is every bit as flammable as gas. A lot of women during the Great Depression (you know that period of history long, LONG ago when rich Wall Street men ruined the economy because of their greed and ineptitude and then basically, abandoned ship leaving the rest of the country destitute desperate so they could go off and finish their rich lives in comfort), did their own dry cleaning. It was very dangerous but if you Google the process, the practice and the history are fascinating. My Grandmother Esther was a survivor, I miss her. | ||

Corn Pone
Recipe
(4 servings) 3 cups cornmeal 3 teaspoons salt 2-3 cups water 3 tablespoons lard Bring water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Add cornmeal and salt and immediately remove from stove. Mix well. Melt half of lard in a baking pan to coat. Stir remaining lard into corn meal mixture. Pour mixture into baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 miutes, or until golden brown. Generally in the South corn pone is made without milk, flour, sugar (or other sweetners), or flour. Then again once you cross the Mason-Dixon you're liable to be shot for making cornbread with sugar, but we aren't on that right now! *LOL* CLICK HERE TO GO TO Launderess's LINK | ||
