Ringer Washer

Washing clothes a long days job as the new wash machine mom had was too good to be used a Maytag ringer in the basement was the clue Hot water fills the larger washer as it went round and round pulling out the clothes, piece by piece gentle and carefully into the ringer as it sqeezed the water out into a new tub of hot water, up and down splashing about then into the third tub finally through the ringer again almost dry to the lines outside under a hot summer sky

Mary: Mom always filled the Maytag and the rinse tubs from a double boiler on the kitchen range. When finished, she carried all that water to the back yard in buckets. A five dollar hose would have been a great help but mom already had the buckets. Keep them coming. oldbuck
