Found this on ebay and could’t resist buying it. Appears to be a late ‘40s early ‘50s mailer advertising special sale items (inside is a mattress for $34 and a lawn mower for $64!).

No date on the ad; wonder who manufactured the fabulous “Wardomatic” washer and dryer? Obviously before Montgomery Ward started badging their machines with the exclusive “Signature” brand name. Interesting how the washer holds 8-9 lbs yet the dryer boasts 18 lbs!

Just wanted to share.

I'd say 1957 or there abouts. As for the manufacturer, the only other company that had a fiberglass basket that I know of was APEX. Experts?

Very cool ad, rare machines. This was made by Apex. They also made for Zenith that comes up POD now and then. Apex made an agitator machine with a transmission and agitator as well as the bouncing basket. I believe the Apex appliance factory closed in 1958/59.

They made

The bouncing basket models for Wards and Universal for a while as well as the agitator models, Apex and Eureka made the vacuums and Westinghouse also made vacuums in the mid to late 50s.
