by' Wingham’s taste in
Automatic
W ashers
Most of these machines are in tip top condition and needed very little
fixing. In fact we doubt if their owners would have traded them if
they hadn’t liked the new Frigidaire Automatic so well.
Wingham folks liked Frigidaire Automatic
Washers so well that we've been left sitting
with a lot of perfectly good washing machin
es which were traded in on the best huto
mafic washer on the market
