Ric Rac

I remember ric rac (sp? In one of the ads, the woman's neckline is trimmed in it.) My mother used to trim my sister's clothes with it. I also remember Mom carefully pressing it flat after one of my sister's garments had been washed.

Ad cracked me up!!!! Did everyone's mother except mine take the agitator out? I'll have to say I never saw my mother gaze upon the beauty of the plastic agitator... let alone take it out of the tub...LOL!!!! or maybe she did late at night when no one was watching.

Elderly friends of my parents had the same IH fridge pictured above.  It was new when they built their house, and was still going strong when they sold the house in 2004.  The only repair it had was new a new door gasket at some point in its life.  It was whisper quiet.  Our electric company bought the fridge as part of their old appliance buyback plan.

I Know Really!

My mother never pulled the agitator out to look at it. A washing machine was a washing machine, but I pulled it out by mistake. Back when I was back in high school she asked me to go back to the lasundry room and transfer the bedspread from the washer to the dryer. It was one of those heavy cotton spreads that weighed a ton wet. I used about all my stength to woosh that spead out of the tub and out came the spread agitator and all!. OMG. I thought I had destroyed the washing machine. Phew. Much to my delight, it just clicked back into place. That was a close one!!!

Thanks!

The barbershop in the old Candler Hotel in Decatur, GA where we got our hair cut for years had two of the 1953 Crosley air conditioners. One died in the 60s and was replaced by a Frigidaire.
