Hi Rich, glad you enjoyed the article. When my parents first moved in the house in 1950 all my Mom had was an Apex wringer washer and hung her clothes outside in the summer and in the basement in the winter. In 1956 she purchased a GE FilterFlo washer, WA755N, which was the top of the line model with suds-saver, WHICH I SAVED AND STILL HAVE! She didnt have a dryer for the next couple of years, finally getting a BOL Norge gas dryer in 1958 from the newly opened appliance store in Ohio: Home Centers. Frankly, I thought about putting the original GE washer back in the house, but honestly she didnt want to use an old washer!. I had gotten her a TOL Whirlpool set, all touch contols on both washer and dryer which she likes a lot, so those got moved in. She really does not do much laundry, and I really didnt want to part with my 1956 GE FilterFlo!
