Maytag Announces
A New Washer
Many Advanced Features
introduced

At Newton, Iowa, the washer cent
Ger of the world, the great Maytag
factory, which dominates the COM
mercial activities of the lively Iowa
city is teeming with action. 1t has
started on the most ambitious pro-
gram in Maytag history, and the rea-
son is a New Maytag washer.
Having originated the outstanding
washer developments of many years
the announcement of new washer
by Maytag commands the interest OF
the entire washing machine industry
and millions of housewives every
where. Before going into details
which explain the many distinctive
and novel features of this new wash
'er, it is well to get a mind picture
of the vast facilities called into ac-
ton for its production.
This new washer comes at the peak
of Maytag success which has been
one of the outstanding achievements
of the industrial world. With a rec
ord business in 1929, The Maytag
Company completed its seventh sue
cessive year of world leadership.
Public acceptance which made this
tremendous business possible, requir-
ed continuous increases in production
facilities, improvement in methods
and new special machinery.
Many New Features
The modern aluminium foundry and
the immense gray iron foundry,
owned and operated by Maytag, cost
$2,OOO,OOO to build. The balance of
the plant steps the investment in
plant, equipment and development
work up to more than $4,000,00O. An
additional investment of half mil
lion dollars in special machinery and
equipment was necessary before the
new Maytag could be produced.
The aluminium foundry, which is
one of the worlds finest, produces
the new one-piece cast-aluminum tub.
Additional tools, patterns and pro-
duction machinery were necessary to
manufacture the new Roller Water
Remover This special Maytag fea-
ture has positive action, automatic
drain, completely enclosed within
the compact housing of the Roller
Water Remover. This new type of
drain shunts the water directly into
the right tub without spilling Or
splashirg, without attention from
the operator. The only exposed
parts of the new Roller Water Re-
mover are the top roll and the safety
feed. The index-lock which permits
the water remover to swing and
lock in seven different positions is
protected by dust-proof cap.
The New Maytag has a quiet, en-
closed lifetime, oil-packed drive.
This exceedingly quiet and smooth
running, self-oiled drive operates in
a sealed housing. The gear is always
In mesh so that there is no clashing
when the washer is started or stop
ped. A new, handy auto-type shift
lever is easily operated from any
side of the washer.
The New Maytag has a thumb
screw brake on the caster wheel,
non-breakable electric attachment
plug and other outstanding scientific
developments which add to its con-
venience and washing ability. The
pride which The Maytag Company
takes in its new product is fully
justified.
The features of this new washer
offer equally desirable advantages to
city and farm homes. Homes with
out electricity may have the NEW
Maytag equipped with an in-built
gasoline Multi-Motor. This compact
Maytag engine is now equipped with
a new air cleaner.-Adv.
