Appliances have a better money value today
Even though the 'price of appliances has
gone, up over the years, most products have
become a better value -for the money.
However, the prices have been going upat
a slower rate than other products 'on the
market, says Wayne Schnittker, owner of
Modern Appliance Centre in Hanover.
Electronic control panel stoves,
dishwashers, washers and dryers involve
the latest technology in appliances.
Although General Electric and Maytag, ttie
topline models, are the only brands to carry
these new appliances, Schnittker can see
standard models following this direction in
the future.
Modern Appliance has been an exhibitor
at the Walkerton Home and Garden Show
for the past three years. This year, he says;
electonic appliances will be an added
feature at his booth.
Schnittker opened his store in Hanover in
1975 with three employees and has since ex-
panded the operation to include 22
employees working at a store in Listowel
and Radio Shack. Walkerton, In 1978, he
'moved to a larger lvcatian in the• A and P
Mail ui Hanover to offer a. wider- selection of
appliances, more brand`narne& -
The store }as a floor space of ,6;600 square
feet and is not an Overage size store for this
area. "You;'d have to go to a. city to get a big-
ger selection in one store as compared to
what is offered here: Our store is full to the
limit with a wide selection of merchandise."
SHOPPING FOR APPLIANCES
His description of shoppers. breaks- down
into two categories. "There are .those who
come in knowing. exactly what they want,
and then there are others who browse
around and take their time choosing which
brand name they prefer." .
Maytag, General Electric, Moffat, Inglis.
and Admiral are the top name brands for
washers, dryers and dishwashers. Brand
