Who made that washer for JC Penney? I don't know what the durability or cleaning ability of those were like, but that thing has tons of options and features! Pretty cool.

Looks like a Hotpoint to me.

JCP laundry was GE-sourced, with some bits of Hotpoint styling (which Hotpoint is/was a division of GE).
That's the trouble w/ JCP: Why buy a pale imitation of the Hotpoint/GE when nearly the same amount of money (OK, a few-hundred-dollars, more!) bought you the REAL THING????!!!!
Sadly, for the money you DID save, the formerly-branded PENNCREST, did not do nearly as well as Montgomery Ward & Sears, let alone anything like Western Auto, Gambles, Grant's, et. al. even when proclaiming it was 'Jay-Cee Penn-eee'...!
GENERAL ELECTRIC went even nearly as far to not only service its own GE brand, and its Hotpoint division but even JC Penny appliances via their CUSTOMER CARE™ repair service outlet, as well...!
As for the ad, it seems as though only TOL models of their washers & dryers were really worthy of making the 'Poster Childs' of the day... (And luckily, as a washer of Hotpoint parentage, had the benefit of the lint filters being self-cleaning, too...!)
