Very interesting info on Maytag. Will try their cheese as their Maytag washers were excellent in my youth. I lived full time in France for years so had the opportunity to enjoy many cheeses at farm prices. Will be in France this summer and will enjoy my favorites along with the excellent lamb raised locally.I’m particularly fond of “ stinky “cheeses of which there are many, but also enjoy the milder kind.
Maytag had the rights to Hoover vacuums in the UK for a number of years. They ran a promotion for vacuum sweeper buyers that included a drawing for one couple’s free week in a Paris hotel.
The promo was so poorly written that a judge ruled that everyone who bought a new Hoover was due a free week in Paris.
I was a vendor for Maytag for many years.
When natural gas got expensive or was curtailed, Maytag switched to residual oil to make steam at the plant. I delivered the oil in tank cars.
I remember getting a call from the buyer that went, “...remember that oil we bought from you? Would you be interested in buying it back?
The plant closed a few months later—the brand name bought by Whirlpool.
