I remember back in the mid sixties seeing all three of these brands' washing machines, refrigerators and ranges at the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's warehouse. They'd deliver, install new appliances purchased from their local stores and remove and haul away the old ones dropping them off for pickup and destruction by the dump. I'd slide under their gates and go crazy with all the many different appliances being tossed and take off timers, pumps, temperature switches...,etc. I liked the Leonard design and wonder if I'm alone or there may be someone here who remembers or even may have one of the Leonards products in our midst?????

The only places I'd seen Leonard were E.J. Korvets and Hochschild Kohn,a local Baltimore retailer. Hecht Companys own brand, Duracrest, was also made by Kelvinator prior to their merge with Easy,Gibson,Hamilton and Leonard becoming the White Consolidated Industries better known now as Electrolux of Sweden.
