 I've always wondered just how many sales were generated by this advertisement. Firstly, $25 doesn't seem like much of an incentive even going back to the 1979 economy. Secondly, this coupon only applies to the A308 model, so I wonder how much this ad served more as a modified 'bait and switch' scheme than a simple sales incentive - figuring it might get a buyer in the door, but the dealer might be willing to give his own $25 discount on a higher priced model and let the buyer forego the coupon.

 A family friend who had a late 1960s FilterFlo, then Whirlpool and I don't know the remaining sequence up to a Frigidaire frontloader set that I saw three years ago ... once told me that she bought a Maytag (of some model) at some point in the history and insisted the dealer take it back because it mangled her knitted sweater-tops. | ||

Oh dear, I hope she was not fooled by that last 4 minutes of the wash cycle labeled "DELICATES." | ||

Barry, in the late 60s or maybe 1970, Consumer Reports tested basic one speed washers and showed the damage that the Maytag did to a casement curtain (open weave) fabric. | ||
