i remember allmost everyone around here had a frontloader when we
were on cysterns,cause they used little water, then when city water came
thru, everyone eventually went to top loaders because they were cheeper
and water supply wasnt an issue..this was back in the early 60's ,so
front loaders have been more expensive for quite some time around here.

I remember that. We had an old Bendix, probably late '50s or so. Nothing
like the machines of today. It vibrated, the gasket leaked, but it was
entertaining for a 3 or 4 year old.
