and imagine that these days they are all plastic and steel… still it’s a lot the same I think.

My memory doesn’t go back quite that far, but I do remember the wringer, the rinse tub and final wringing, and carrying the basket up the stairs from the basement to the back yard clothes line for drying! Your rhyming skills are admirable, and I enjoyed every line here!

This is a blast from the past! A lot of fun, Ron, though I’m pleased that these days the spinning is automated!

In reply to marialberg. My research of vintage washer ads turned up another machine named "The Witch", so between the Witch and the Wizard, it seems everyone thought washing machines were magical 100 years ago.

You’re hired! You could sell washing machines to Eskimoes! I like what you did with this old ad.

In reply to De Jackson. Glad you enjoyed it. I've written a few ads myself..

I wanted it to be an actual wizard, magically doing the neighbors laundry as I watch with envy until I can get one. 😉

Ron, this is just too much fun! My “paid gig” is as a freelance advertising copywriter, so I love this all the more!
