Description
Black and white 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the Maytag Automatic Washer. This ad starts off with the statement that “In 1955, Mrs. Loughlin married Mr. Loughlin and adopted her mother’s 3-year-old Maytag“ next to a photo of the happy occasion. The occasion that I am referring to is the wedding, not the adoption of the Maytag. The ad claims that “It was a smart move on both counts. 9 years later she’s had 5 little children and the Maytag’s only had 3 little repairs”. Not a bad record. “When Thomas and Dolores Loughlin of Bridgewater, New Jersey, were married, her mother gave them her 3-year-old Maytag Automatic Washer. Nine years, 5 children and 3 minor repairs later, they decided it was time to give their 12-year-old Maytag a rest”. They went shopping for another Maytag and got a model with 2-speeds and a ton of other features.
