Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the quality and reliability of their Washers and Dryers. There is a picture of the family of Mr. and Mrs.Lapointe of Mason City, Iowa all gathered around the family sofa, the mother and father, five boys, five girls and eight pairs of glasses. The headline says that “Mary Jane Lapointe writes that her mom’s Maytags haven’t taken a day off in 13 years”. The information, which came from a letter from Mary Jane Lapointe, claims that the washer and dryer were purchased new in 1954 and are still working with not a single breakdown and Mary Jane intends to buy Maytags when she becomes a homemaker too
