Vintage Appliance Advertisements: Part Eight

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I really love that 1956 Tappan range ad.  Playful and fun.  Those poor women in the 1950s, always cooking in heels!
 
ABC-O-Matic

"Automatic" is quite misleading in that ad, it was basically a wringer washer. The clothes were washed in the tub at the front, then the user fed them into the wringer/rinsing contraption toward the rear. I have seen only one, in California a few years ago but it had been outside for many years and not in working condition. The rinser/wringer seemed rather complicated and prone to tangling/jamming, but who knows?
