Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13″ ad for the Maytag Automatic Washer and Dryer. This ad has a picture of the Dubler Family standing there and you might think that there were three, four or even five of them. But no, there are twelve of them, standing on the front porch of their home. The ad headline says that “Mrs. Dubler figures her 6-year-old Maytag Washer and Dryer are just getting broken in”. It then says, “After all, her mother’s Maytag is 39 years old, and still going strong”. The ad says that “Six years ago, Mrs. Kenneth Dubler of San Diego, California decided it was high time to follow her mother’s example. She finally bought a Maytag Washer of her own. And a Dryer, too. The 12 Dublers supply their Maytags with everything from permanent press slacks and dresses to diapers – four loads a day, seven days a week. The Maytags keep working merrily away, with just one small repair in six years. You can get a New Generation Washer and Dryer, with a lot of new features Mrs. Dubler’s Maytags don’t have. Giant new washing capacity. Space-saving Dryer design. And a choice of decorator colors. But one thing hasn’t changed. When you have a lot of living to do, and laundry’s the last thing you want to worry about, Maytag makes the Washer and Dryer you can depend on”.
