Video Goodies Available

[laundryshark]

In the Archive.org Web site, you can Search for and find such classic goodies as:

Frigidaire (at least two promo or sales clips)
Mother Takes a Holiday (parts I and II)
Oxydol Goes into High (a company sales film from 1938)
Tide commercial
Tide XK commercial
Wonderful World of Wash 'N Wear

Apparently, the site has updated their stuff to include more mpeg-1's, which play in Windows Media without the need for additional plug ins. If you desire the higher resolution or touched up copies, the mpeg-2's, 4's, etc alternate downloads or streams are also available. Furthermore, unless you would rather not hear your files in the background, you can enjoy them while downloading your own copies. In any case, these are huge videos. So dial up would definitely take forever to download.--Laundry Shark

A Touch of Magic

Also found in the Archive.org site, this upbeat film showcases all the GM models for 1961. Then it kicks into the Frigidaire stuff at home.--Laundry Shark

ons of Classic Television Commercials

And who could forget all those classic television commercials available as free and open downloads? There is a set of seven or eight compilations of classic TV ads. In Part IV, there is even a Tide commercial with the musical theme of "The Cleanest Clean Under the Sun..." Perform a Search for "television commercials," *in Archive.org,* also brings up a whole stack of cigarette ads, some beer commercials, etc.--Laundry Shark
