These type of clothes "dryers' were VERY common and still in use in the rural areas of New England and no doubt in other parts of rural America., one can still see them in use. They USUALLY were mounted about at eye level somewhere in close proximity to the kitchen range...which was often...

I must be a lot older than most of my fellow Americans who are writing in under this discussion. I was a child in the late 40's and early 50's. I grew up in the Bronx and nearly EVERY laundramat in our neighborhood had front loading washers. Most of them were Bendix models. In outr home we had...

I have no such machine myself ..is still use a percolator however my neighbour has a Tassimo and it really DOES make terific coffee

Don't feel bad..our electric company in Vermont told us a similar story years back saying that fixed costs had to be covered ( which I understand) and that we had done too good of a job in conserving energy. I does cause one to pause and think about the ratiionale about SOME of this stuff.

In the summer , when I have a lot of comapany, on Sunday night , the whites go in the boiler on the back of the range to heat and boil slowly with a good scoop of Borax and Oxy Clean. In the morning I fish them out with a stick and into the washer they go. Then I do the coloured shirts and...

INteresting that there are so many different collections other than washers on this site. That's what makes it so interesting. I have a Victor Radio with ELectrola from 1929. It really is a great radio /phonograph combination with AMAZING tone and clarity. I also hitched in an FM receiver to...

Don't worry boys, they're gone.

There is nothing like train travel comfortable and exceedingly pleasant. I only wish the crew in D.C would realize that We are one of the few world powers that has virtually written off passenger service. Sad indeed!

I think so much of what is on TV today is so very trashy. It has been a long time since I taught school (30 years ) I have often wondered if I were still teaching how would I deal with the comments and questions that would inevitably come up?! I don't know. The TV folks say ," Well, if you don't...

I pray for you and your family in this most difficult of times. He is safely on the other side. Pax vobiscum.

I agree that U.S. front loadres do not use enough water ESPECIALLY in the rinse cycles. I have an old Westinghouse Front loader ...from 1989. It has the weigh to save door , Manual adjustable water lever and it works JUST FINE giving a really well rinsed ,clean wash. If I could get another just...

I remember Glass Wax very well. Growing up in the north Bronx and going to Catholic School, windows at home and in school were plastered with GlassWax designs. I also taught in a one room school in Northern Vermont for 11 years in the late 60's and 70's. In those days before all this stupid...

The store here in Boston with great restaurant was Jordan MArsh. They were famous for their blueberry muffins. I often wonder what happened to the recipe. They were great muffins

It is indeed a messy situation. I have always felt that what America needed is a GOOD serious third party...not some silly group out to legalize pot or some other such bit of unimportant nonsense. The reality of it is....there isn't enough money in America to finance such a enormous undertaking...

I was at an interiors show in Verona Italy about 3 or 4 years ago and I actually saw this most unusual contraption. It was part of a large European Ecology exhibit ...as I remember there were several other unusual "marriages" of unlikely components in that exhibit as well.

This is a wonderful machine. it does a GREAT job on dishes in NO TIME FLAT. My father bought ours in 1954 . I have it now and it is still working perfectly. Congratulations on your find. I am sure it wil give you many many years of good service.

It LOOKS like a machine made by the 1900 washer Co. It obviously came from the farm as it is powered by a gasoline engine. It looks to be about 1918 or so. It was quite sophisticated for its day and a great help to a busy farmer's wife

Finding decent non crazy men is a tall order to be sure ...but to paraphrase Toggleswitch, perhaps you are fishing in the wrong pond! Just remember..keep fresh bait on your hook!

This is the ugliest machine I have seen to date. It looks intimidating.

I have a White Westinghouse Spacemetes front loader which I have "put up" for the winter . I have it 20 years and it has survived Northern Vermont winters quite nicely. I run the machine through a short cycle to rinse it our THOUOUGHLY, Then I let the hose down on floor lever the last minute or...
