No better evidence Of the great
pros perity of the West.could be- ad-
yanced than to point to this history
making shipment Of seven solid ttaint
loads of single household appliance
which marks the greatest merchan-
dising achievement in the history Of
business.
A shipment of such magnitude fol-
lowing so closely upon the numerou
single and double trainload ship
ments that have been absorbed by
these three great distributing organ
izations during the past few months
speaks volumes for the purchasing
power of the people of the West
whose standards Of living are Of the
highest.
The numerous trainloads Of Maytag
washers shipped into Northwest terri
tory in the past have been disposed
Of easily and quickly. Basing their
opinions on past records, sales and
dealer organizations handling the
Maytag washer believe that every one
of the $4,000 machines in the record
breaking seven trainload shipment
will be sold withiNs u few weeks
because of the CONTINUALLY increas-
ing demand for THIS Xhsher through
out the entire country.

4 Shipments of such magnitude as
+these- seven trainloads and the many
s;trainloads THAT have gone before
Clearly show the financial
strength Of the y Maytag Com
pany and its tremendous ex-
penditures for materials and labor
necessary to build and market 1900
washing machines day which is the
present output Of the Maytag fac
tory.
The Maytag Company was founded
more than thirty years ago by F.. l..
Maytag. the present Chairman of the
Board of Directors. The Company
has shown a remarkable growth until
today it is credited with making and
selling about forty per cent Of all
electric washing machines sold.
No better proof of how the Maytag
Company has progressed can be, had
than to check its yearly volume Of
sales over period Of years. In 1920
sales were $1,000, 900: in 1927 $1,000
900; in 1929 $4,OOOOOO; in 1928
$8,OOO,OOO; in 1924 $4,000, 600; in
1926 $35,O0O,OOO. Gains Of approx
mately 65 per cent for the first nine
months of last year should bring the
total sale for 1926 to $4,000, 900 or
more.

The municipal skating rink was
flooded this morning by me rnbers of
the city street departments crew.
and will be opened to the public

70 the progressive and prospcrous
Northwest goes the honor Of receiv-
ing3 the greatest single shipment of
merchandise the world has over
known. This record breaking ship
ment consists of seven solid train
loads Of Maytag Aluminium Washers.
There are $4,000 machines in the
shipment valued at more than
$3,O0O,OOO.
Three of the seven trainloads are
for the Schlueter Company, Maytag
distributor for California. Two train
loads are for the Maytag Intermoun-
tain Company with headquarters in
Salt Lake City. Two trainloads are
for the Maytag Pacific, Inc, with
executive offices in Seattle and Port
land.
The two trainload shipment for the
Maytag Pacific, Inc, will attract un-
usual interest due to the fact that
railroad officials and executives of
the Maytag Pacific. Inc, have arrang-
ed race between the trains from
st. Paul to destination. One train
will proceed over the electrified Chi
cago, Milwaukee e. Pacific while the
other will run over the Northern
Pacific which depends upon steam
for motive power.
