returned to buy the more expensive and better machine. And the average
time was six months! Now this dealer could have selected a machine no higher in price than his less expensive model which would have done good work and thoroughly satisfied the user. We leave you to draw your own conclusions as to the fate of the manufacturer's product in the first place, and the dealer's selling methods in the second place. In selecting a Washing Machine, the woman looks for: 1. Compact, trim appearance with all machine parts covered. 2. Plain outlines. 3. Swinging wringer with safety release. 4. Pump attached to machine to rapidly drain off water when drain connection is not practical. 5. Metal tub exterior painted (easy to keep clean). 6. A waterproof finish on a wood tub. 7. Switch control of motor, clutch control of tub and wringer. 8. Height that will obviate stooping. 9. Design to insure efficiency. 10. Motor and switch insulation. |
