Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad with a headline that says that “The Websters have a 39-year-old marriage and a 33-year-old Maytag”. This headline is placed just under the picture of the two of them, and a corsage, at the time of their wedding. The headline goes on to say that “The Maytg has had 4 repairs…the marriage never needed any”. The ad tells the story about Glenn, the husband, buying a new washing machine for his wife on Christmas 1930. She had two children and he didn’t have to buy her another Maytag until Christmas Day, 1963 which was 39 years from the day that they were married.
