Dear Charles Richard

Ohhhhh, that IS a wonderful ad, and I've never seen it either. I'm going to have to add it to my Roll-Easy pages!

I downloaded the largest size from the flickr page and cleaned it up in Photoshop. Whoever scanned it didn't use the "descreen" option.

Check out the 'repaired' version:

Fred, you want this image for the POD? I saved the original 300dpi scan. I can email it to you.

Thanks Charles~Richard

Like I say, I found it on Flickr, there's an ad for the lavender Frigidaire washer like the one Robert puts up in the washer site on saltycotton's photo site. I thought the model was wearing glasses.

The Forum at its best!
What a thrill to come home from work to this. Thank you, Charles, and Alan for the link. I couldn't get to the printer fast enough. But I did and printed both ads on 8.5 x 11 matte photo paper to frame and mount as side wings to my Roll-Easy Triplets and clover planter shelf display.

The flicker page title for this ad says "The Saturday Evening Post" May 18, 1957. Does that seem correct for this 3rd version Roll-Easy? You say the Roll-Easy was produced into the mid-1960s, so I am curious if maybe it is not an early 1960s ad...

I mean, this ad page I have - and have scanned - is 1955, also The Saturday Evening Post. Oh look, essentially the same Colonial furniture in a knotty pine setting. LOL

Ok guys, get out there and rescue old Saturday Evening Posts...
I'd really like the early Roll-easy ads in the modern furniture settings...as shown in Charles' Roll-Easy pages.

I do not know that Roll-Easys were made and sold in Canada - I have yet to see or find one up here...

This is the third time I've tried to answer this

Damn Internet!!

Made my day too, I don't recall seeing any ads in my 1956 Posts, just Lewyt and Hoover. I'll check again tonight when the cats leave me alone. I love those triplet ads, so '50s and stylish, it's still my favorite era.
