It looks wonderful! I had a great aunt who had one in poppy red. Have fun with this. Gary

In the late 1950's I remember doing laundry with my grandmother in Kenosah, Wis. in one of these machines which was in a laundromat. You could fill the washer with as much water as you wanted and do several loads in the same water. These machines washed well it seemed. Gary

When you tell the appliance salesman an the local mom and pop appliance store that, "Ill never buy a new washer or dryer from you; your job is to keep my Maytags from 1977 in harvest gold, working." His answer is, with a smile on his face. "I know it and I can still get parts for them." The...

Allen, Oh yes, I love this house too. There is even a steel beam to hold the floor up. Nice gas fired hot plate to heat the wash water and the concrete rinse tubs which are just begging for a wringer washer parked in front of it to do a weeks worth of laundry. Nice place indeed. Gary

OH Jerry, you are so bad and it does sound like at good idea to have Cuffs "talk" with us for sure. Gary

My Mom had a deep fryer and the name on it was Southern. She kept oil in and one day it fell out of the lower cupboard where it was kept, onto the floor. She got so angry with all of that oil on the kitchen floor that she threw it out of the back door on to the driveway! lol She did and...

I have seen a lot of Servel 'fridges in movies. I wonder why they used those a great deal? Gary

-14 tonight. I keep the closet door open in the kitchen. The pipes for the bathroom upstairs goes up through the closet. I have never had a frozen pipe here ever. The door for the bathtub pipes is open now too. Just use some common sense about all of this and things should be ok. Gary

The Meadows washing machine company started life in Pontiac, Il.

Who made the One Minute brand? I have never heard of that? Gary

My mom, in 1958 bought a Mixmaster junior. She was making whipped potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner. Some asked her a question, and not being very familiar with the new mixer, tilted it up and everyone standing close to her got a nice ring of mashed potatoes on them. We all laughed and had a...

I'm with you Cuff, Illinois is sort of a long way off, only 2 days to get there. lol I once had a Copper Clad coal burning cookstove in the kitchen. The power was off and I was the only one who could cook and keep the kitchen warm. I cooked a meal on that stove for 8 people. It was fun. Gary

John I don't remember hearing a fan? I thought that the fridge was an Admiral but one letter short. I got hooked on it too, just finished the end of the series tonight. Gary

Hi Tom It is difficult to go back too, you are right. The building in the picture is a wonderful example of school architecture during the 20's. If is very difficult to use these types of for other things. High ceilings, many big windows, etc. makes it difficult to rebuild into something...

Michael, Thanks, I thought it was a Coldspot and I did see the Maytag set there. I just finished the entire series. Wow, very intense for sure. Gary

I have been watching a few episodes of the Bate Motel. Inside of the house is a white refrigerator which looks like it is from the 50's or 60's? I think the brand of this refrigerator is a Coldspot, but I could be wrong? I was just curious as to know if any of you would know? Thanks, Gary

These are two pictures of the high school that I taught in that go with the above post.

The high school building that I taught in for 30 years had all kinds of places to hide etc. In the hallway downstairs, there were doors that were set in the walls. Those doors led to pipe chases etc. for maintenance purposes. The building was built in 1928 and was torn down a year ago. The...

Supersuds Hi John, Thanks for the compliment. One of these days it will be spring and all of this will be forgotten. Gary
