Beautiful Large Format Bendix Duomatic Brochure


Published by Bendix in 1953-- This is an absolutely gorgeous automotive style brochure published by Bendix when they first introduced their Duomatic, the world's very first combination washer-dryer. The brochure contains everything that you could possible want to know about washing and drying in a single machine.

"Let's You Live Like The Lady You Are...

Now you can be the lady of the house, 7 days a week each week in the year, for years and years to come. Selecting the Bendix Duomatic for your home was the smartest choice you could have made-simply because nowhere in the whole wide world is there a single laundry appliance which can so completely transform work days into holidays for you.

You'll be amazed how well you will enjoy you're Duomatic if you follow the suggestions outlined in this booklet. Read it and refer to it often."
