Description
Black and white 10″ x 14″ ad that refers to some people who live on an island. The statement under the picture of seven people standing on a dock as a tugboat goes by says “The Wertenbach’s Maytag came to South Bass Island 16 years ago. The repairman still hasn’t made the trip.” The text talks about how in 1948 they bought a washing machine and kept it for 16 years with never a need for a trip from a repairman. Now they have bought a new Maytag and they have hopes that it holds up as well as the old one. Mrs. Wertenbach still hasn’t made up her mind as to which of the new features she likes best.
