OK todays dumb question
How did the Easy spin dryer come with a suds saver? and for extra cost ??? I thought all twin tubs were suds savers due to being able to spin the wash water back into the wash tub !!
Sure beats me why it costs more?

All those amazing machines with all that chrome. Only Maytag looks a bit boring between all the others.

Those are some fancy prices!
I’d like to place my order for one of each, please!!
Thank for sharing, Launderess!

Interesting to note that the Whirlpool "Imperial" model list price is $369.95.
$369 was the price of the LDA7800 "Supreme 80" in June 1976.

This is a great catalog - I think this is from 1958!

I’ll take those Westy slant-fronts, please. Hold on; I’m going to go for an ABC set, instead. No, wait—make it a pair of the ‘58 Frigidaires.
Thanks for posting this day-maker, Launderess.

hmmm
For each manufacturer, I would choose the total TOL model and the basement BOL model. The only wringer I'd buy would be the Philco Twin-Amatic. And how about that ABC Spin-O-Matic, no timer at all! Oh, one of each Combo offered too.

Keep in mind prices shown are list, not MSRP
This was a wholesale catalog to the trade, dealers would have marked-up things before selling them on.
For those old enough to remember "I can get if for you wholesale", was frequently heard around households or whatever. It meant someone knew a guy, that knew a guy who knew a guy that could get you something at the insider (wholesale) price.
There used to be whole catalogs/directories listing places that sold wholesale, but also would do retail on side (legally or not).
Legally wholesale places also only sell to those with tax ID numbers because they don't tack on sales taxes. This is legal because things aren't for personal/retail use, and laws assume what is bought will have taxes tacked on when resold at retail. This and or items are for business/corporate use.
If you were a landlord or developer and needed appliances you could go to Lindons and stock up.
A housewife or anyone else would be lucky back in 1958 to get new laundry appliances at anything close to those list prices.

Thanks Launderess, for posting the rest.
I noticed that GE still had Cadet Blue available when this was printed.
The Hotpoint Electronic Cooking Center certainly was expensive. The 39" ranges were also higher priced than the comparable GE 40" models; when Hotpoint was still a more deluxe line.

Housewares Catalog Is A Treasure Trove
Takes me right back to my mother's, grandmothers, aunts and other homes growing up because they were full of things shown.
I personally have a Proctor ironing table and a stash of Zedalon covers and pads.
