Was it Maytag that used to run the "lonely repair man" ads?...where Maytag machines were so reliable the repairman never heard from anyone.

Nobody seems to advertise "durability" anymore....like the Gorilla beating up the suitcases and stuff. Now it's just "latest and greatest"....and no longer "you won't buy another one for a long time"
