Babt in Water Flex Tub Ad 1938.jpg

I have been doing research into my old family history and found that Birdsell Manufacturing company (that started making wagons and farm equipment back in the 1815's) started producing the the "Water-Flex" washing machine in the mid 1930's thru the early 1940's. Gambles (See advertisement) and I believe Western Auto started selling the Coronado washers. The cool feature was no agitator in the tub which would reduce the wear and tear of clothing being washed. Anyway, I am looking for advertisements and other info to preserve the family history to pass down to family members.
Does anyone have any pictures or copies of advertisements they would be willing to share to help me to preserve the Birdsell family history? Thanks in advance!
