Description
Black and white 9″ x 13″ ad from their series on how durable their laundry appliances were. This ad has a picture of the family of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bodell of Roseville, Michigan posing in what is probably their front yard. The headline says that “Two sets of twins keep Mrs. Bodell’s Maytag on double duty” and you look again at the picture and realize that there are two sets of twins in this group. It is no surprise that the mother seems to have a dazed look on her face and the text talks about the difficulty in keeping this many people, so close together in age, supplied with clean clothes, especially when some of the kids try and make it more difficult. It also claims that, after two sets of twins, the washer has only recently needed its first minor repair.
