Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the durability that is built into their Washers and Dryers. There is a picture supposedly taken in the laundry room of the Stadium Court Apartments in Portland, Oregon where four ladies along with various kids are working the single washer and dryer steadily. The headline says that “52 tenants haven’t worn out this Maytag Washer and Dryer” and the text explains that in two years there have been 8,344 loads done by these industrious tenants. The claim is made in the ad that these and the other 16 washers and dryers that service the 400 tenants of this complex are regular home models, the dryer being a Maytag Halo-of-Heat Dryer while the washer is a regular automatic with the standard features that only the best units have. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view
