MRS. R. S. MORGAN OF REFUGIO WON THE ELECTRIC IRON FOR
SUMBITTING THE FIRST CORRECT SET OF ANSWERS IN THE AP-
PLIANCE QUIZ PRESENTED LAST WEEK IN THIS PAPER.
Should you ask what firm manufactures the appliances? True
Knowing the name of the manufacturer will inform you whether the ap-
pliance is manufactured by a dependable firm or not.
Should you buy the lowest priced appliance ? False
Quality is oft times sacrificed to obtain low price.
You should consider the character and reputation of the deal-
er selling the appliance as well as the manufacturer. True
You will want to know that the dealer will stand good for the warranty
he gives for appliances. 1 ,
The service policy of the manufacturer and dealer during war
conditions should not be considered. False
That manufacturers and dealers that are dependable are at the present
time during the war—proving that they can be relied upon in the future.
Have the warranty terms on appliances been met better by the
reputable local dealer than by the non-local firm? True
The local dealer was present to fulfill the warranty, without trouble or
cost of mailing or delivery to out-of-town firm.
Appliances sold on the strength of added “do-dads” have ren-
dered better and more consistent service than those products
of General Electric and The Westinghouse Company. False
Actual tests and surveys have proved that “do-dads” of non-standard
manufactured appliances have consistently given trouble and failed to per-
torm properly, as well as being harder to repair and maintain.
False
important
Eye appeal is the most important consideration in the pur-
chase of an appliance.
The material and construction of an appliance is far more
in regard to service than “eye-appeal.”
Experience gained during present conditions as to the sincere
service efforts of established manufacturers should have con-
sideration in purchasing new appliances. True
When such firms as General Electric and Westinghouse have expended
considerably more than was justified to supply parts and service appliances
that they manufactured, it is proof that in peace time a dependable service
policy will be available.
There has been a difference in the service maintenance and
parts supplies between standard and non-standard appliances. True
Owners of non-standard appliances have been forced to do without re-
pairs in many cases.
You will want your post-war appliance to be fundamentally
sound in design, outstanding in performance, and to be reason-
ably sure of trouble-free service. True
Wanting your post-war appliances to be sound in design, outstanding
m performance and reasonably sure of trouble-free service, you will in-
vestigate both manufacturer and dealer, will check the warranty of the
appliance and prefer the well-established firm and dealer.
