Free gas station air. Now we have to pay for it and with a credit card no less!

Giant Eagle Get Go Gas Stations and Sheetz Stores still have free air here.

Makes me glad we've got an air compressor at home, and a small, lighter-socket-powered one in the car.One was featured on the cover of a release by Winslow Publishing...

My mom had one of these. (I was born in 1951.)
My mom said that they did the best job of washing clothes. Why? First off, clothes could be washed as long as you wanted. There was no timer.
Then, my mom said that you washed your whites first, kept the same soapy water and washed the mixed colors next and then with the same water and soap, washed the darks last. Economical.
These washers were dangerous too. Many kids in my neighborhood got their hands and arms into the ringer rolls. Messing around of course. And, I was one of the kids who got my hand and arm in there. I remember screaming out loud and my mom came to the rescue and stopped the ringer! I thought I was going to die!
Fond memories!

There's a washing machine club and museum for anyone who's especially fond of them!
When I was around 6 or 7 years old, my parents got me one of those change devices, along with a cowboy outfit. I think there's a photo of me wearing both!one of these coin change devices that the good humor driver wore

At our local(WPB,FL)Fairgrounds, there was a belt[from a tractor]driven washing machine(along with other belt driven thingy's).
There has got to be a club for most anything.
Toasters, oscillating fans, clock radios...etc.
