Maytage Washing j Machines Coming ; ByBigTrainloadj When the local Maytag Shop an-j Bounced a month ago that Its com-j pany had purchased a solid train-; load of washing machines, it wasj regarded as a record accomplish-j ment, but no one dreamed that they ; would go so far as to sell all those machines and order another solid . trainload In thirty days. But that! ts exactly what they have done. il The first trainload waa received with great celebrations August 1. j The order tor the second trainload waa placed shortly after the middle j ot August and has already arrived. I .- This it said to be the most re-; markable selling accomplishment; ever known in any line of industry j and speaks more highly than any thing possibly could tor the buy-' ing power of the Pacific North-! weset. j This Is the greatest number of' washing machines sold by one dis tributor in one month's time any-' where in the world. In fact it is claimed that it is almost double what any distributor has ever done: before. I This Is not only a great tribute; to the outstanding superiority of the Maytag washing machine and the Maytag Pacific organization, but; It Is also a tribute to the buying power and prosperity of this terrl-' tory, to the progressiveness of. Its cltitens and to the advertising value of Its newspapers. j This first trainload was heavily' advertised In local newspapers with' page ads and the response was! great. The Maytag company en- joys the distinction of being the fifth largest newspaper advertiser in the country and enjoys the further, distinction of concentrating all of its advertising In newspapers. This., more than ever, is a tribute to the value of newspaper advertising. i To celebrate the great accom plishment of two trainloads in thirty days, the Maytag Pacific, company held an all-day celebration at Portland, Oregon. September 6 nnd the entire local organization from this city attended. j .. Among the Klamath Falls May tag representatives who attended the celebration were Mrs. A. K. Fugate. Jack Fugate, Martin Tengo.i J. C. O'Connor. It. W. Anderson. Jack O'flrien and H. I). Smith. Mr. P. L. Maytag, president of the Maytag company of .V-wton, Iowa, in recognition of the ac complishment of the Maytag Pa cific, made a special trip to Port land to preside over this big cele bration, which was one of the big events of Labor Day In that city. The men returning from it are enthusiastic over It and over tin; great possibilities in the future for the Maytag machine in this terri tory. Mr. Maytag said many compli mentary things about the progre.-i-slvcness of this territory end his sales organization here. Mr. Maytag was accompanied upon his trip by F. O. Cramer, pres ident of tho Cramer-Krasselt Adver tising company, who handle and slacc all of the Maytag advertising. These two men, with Walter O. Sloat, president of the Maytag Pa cific, Inc., presided over the mon ater celebration and the sales meet ing which followed. .
