Maytag Multi-Motor Washing Machine

Fascinating that this one was painted for John Deere and still works. Maytag produced a washing machine with a gas powered motor branded as the Multi-Motor and a washing machine with an agitator that forced the water through the clothes branded as the Gyrafoam. These inventions proved extremely valuable as by 1927, Maytag was producing more than twice the washers of its nearest competition and had outperformed the industry with growth doubling for five consecutive years. Apparently a serious revolution in clothes washing.
