Photo of early Sarnia appliance store

Someone on FB recently posted this advertisement display of an appliance store here in town. Must have been before 7 digit phone numbers were intro'd as well. Not sure what year these machines are.. anyone guess . I'm thinking it might have been a display at some sort of local home show

Gee, were they an authorized 'Easy' dealer??  LOL 

 

I'd guess early to mid-50s based on the style of the appliances.   Funny how the photo is emphasizing wringer washers - more proof that we Canucks were a thrifty lot and possibly could not justify the purchase of an automatic machine.

It's somewhat humorous to see them coin the phrase "Dreamliner" when Boeing would 50 years later use the term for their most advanced airliner!

"Easy" in Canada...

Great shot, Pete. I didn't realize there were appliance stores in Canada that specialized in the Easy brand. A "Spindrier" is still on my wish-list, so perhaps I'll come across one yet here.

Is that a monster Vornado fan with its two baby fans in front of it?

Some Vornado fans were made by Easy in Canada. At least, mine is!
