La machine a bien laver atlantic

Two layers with the same brand.
The bottom layer used the entire wall; the top layer covers less, but carries the same message.

 This Cazères find complements the first. The message is loud and clear.
 
Clarac (N117, France); 23.X.1999     St-Jean de Chevelu (France);
II.2001; pict. M. Chartier
At last complete Atlantic murals. The washing machine for a good wash always sticks to the same make-up:
  • Upper third:
    the message (white on red)
  • Middle third:
    the brand with the waves (yellow on black)
  • Lower part:
    the machine with the nearest dealer (white on blue).
  • The typeface:
    nice, rounded, timeless.
Both (and most other) walls carry the name Cy ESSWEIN. The wall from Chevelu is dated 10.VIII.1964.
 
Near St. Malo (France); XI.1999;
pict. A. Guët		 Villeneuve St Salves (N77, France);
X.2000; pict. M. Chartier
Somewhere in history Atlantic suffered from a real identity crisis. The mural from St Malo is the proof. Atlantic then stood for washing machines and refrigerators. The message was dropped: Atlantic became an ordinary washing machine (for a good wash is gone). The dynamic undulating lines were shrinked to a mere separating dash and the colour scheme changed dramaticly. It's a pity that we can't find a date on the mural. In my opinion the design is younger than the other walls, but on the Villeneuve finds it looks like the sailors are not in the top layer and thus older. Needs more research.

Frigidaire - le vrai
la bonne machine a laver
or the good washing machine

Compare this with Atlantic.
Don't miss the nuance. Atlantic is a machine for a good wash. Frigidaire is a good washing machine.

Rouen (N15, France), 30.XI.2003;
pict. T. Duboc
Un simple geste ...
et Vedette fait le reste.
Machines a laver Vedette.

The first machine of this brand was shown at the 1947 fair in Paris. In 1963 the brand became Hotchkiss, then Thomson (read more about both brands). Vedette became one of the mayor brands in France thanks to la Mère Denis.
