    Wandered through Menard's---interesting private label selection

    I have noticed that the Loveland store doesn't have as nice of kitchen department as the one in Evendale, which is a larger two floor building. Medallion is a Cabinetworks Group brand, which also owns Kraft Maid, Yorktown, and several other brands. We sold them when I was working at a plumbing...

    Wandered through Menard's---interesting private label selection

    Jamie, that may be specific to the store location you were in. The Cincinnati area stores have nice kitchen displays, with good semi-custom cabinet lines available, such as Medallion, and Cardell. Findlay OH also had a nice kitchen department when I was there a couple years ago.

    Inglis Refrigerator Engineering - 16mm Film

    I like a porcelain enamel liner better than plastic, as it doesn't absorb odors. My 1997 Amana still smells like pickle juice after it was spilled back around 2006. I've cleaned it numerous times, and tried all sorts of ways to eliminate it, but nothing seems to work.

    Inglis Refrigerator Engineering - 16mm Film

    For a very good reason. They have been associated with Whirlpool since becoming a licensee of their predecessor, 1900 Corporation, in 1946. Later Whirlpool acquired full ownership of Inglis.

    Amana Wringer Washer

    I would think any later SQ wringer washer manual will give you the information you need. These machines didn't change much over a period of decades. I believe they were sold under the Koblenz brand in Mexico until a few years ago.

    S.S. Kresge was the parent company of K-Mart. As for Woolworth stores, they weren't all small. The one in downtown Cincinnati had three floors.

    modern version of these vintage kenmore dishwashers

    Chet, at the time Sears started selling dishwashers, Whirlpool didn't have a factory making them. Until 1955, Whirlpool only made laundry equipment. That year they acquired both refrigerator (Seeger) and range (RCA Estate) manufacturing facilities. If I remember correctly, Whirlpool sourced...

    LOVE the center burner on this RCA range!!

    As noted on the tag, this was made by the Estate Stove Co. of Hamilton, OH, during the time they were owned by RCA. This would have been between 1952 and 1955. Whirlpool bought the company from RCA in July, 1955. As part of the agreement, they got the rights to use the RCA trademark on...

    Maytag LDE712 Repair Questions

    The "L" in the model number is just the designation for the Almond color. DE712 is the same, except being white in color.

    Poppy, Frigidaire's second shade of red. An earlier version was Matador Red, available around 1966. In 1977, Poppy was modified into an unshaded color called Terra Cotta.

    Double-Duty Super-Surgilator – 16mm Film

    When my neighbor V. replaced her 1972 Kenmore 800 washer in 1985, she didn't like the Dual-Action agitator in the new Kenmore. A Super Surgilator was then installed, and she was satisfied with the machine after that.

    Number PULEAZE! Part Eight:

    If I remember correctly, the Com-Key phones were the first Western Electric models to use a musical tone ringer. They were introduced mid 1970s.

    Combo stereos 1969-84

    For many years Sears TVs, radios, and stereos were made by Warwick Electronics, based in the Chicago area. The company was partially owned by both Whirlpool and Sears.

    That turquoise sofa and chair look like the ones my Aunt Eloise had. I think hers were made by Kroehler Mfg. Co.
