We had a mismatch of stuff..
When my grandparents got electricity in 38, the only appliances they bought was an Apex refrigerator, purchased thru the REA.."Rural Electrification Association"a iron, and a radio to replace the battery model, in 1950 the Apex developed a leak and ran them all out of the house, as both my Grandmothers nephew and my Uncle were working at Leftwitches, she bought a biggg old Westinghouse fridge that to my knowledge is still running in my uncles vacation home in West Yellowstone Montana," Which he sold a few years ago..which did NOT make me happy, I wanted it back as it is the fridge I remember as a small kid,Mother and Dad bought a Thrifty Thirty range and BOL Fridgidaire fridge in Dec 50 when they married...long story made short, but Grandmother and Grandaddy went to the old original Lowes store in down town North Wilkesboro and bought a 54 Super 30 Hotpoint range when they re modeled the house, doing away with the 1934 TOL Majestic wood range, in 56 Mother and Dad ,who lived uptown in an apartment, moved in with my Grandparents to save money while building their new home,,,Grandad died at age 57 in Nov of 57 and the house never got built, so I grew up in the same house my Mother was born in..in 1929, unfortunately, Mother sold her stove and fridge and used Grandmothers as the fridge was more deluxe and bigger, and the Hotpoint stove was newer, The Westinghouse fridge was great, but the Hotpoint suffered from numerous problems, being traded in in 69 on a Kelvinator that WAS a piece of garbage!!lol..For washers we had ,a 55 Pulsamatic Frigidaire, a 69 WCDAN Frigidaire, and a 86 Maytag...Which turned us against all maytags!!LOL What a dud, then a GE, a front loading stacked Frigidaire, and after my parents died in 2000, I have had any number of washers since, settling on a 83 Kenmore which is wonderful.
