Old Ridgid Ads
Quote from: Rural53 on August 31, 2023, 06:04:48 AMOld Ridgid AdsNearly 50 years ago, Elroy was employed by Emmerson Electric. They owned the Ridge Tool Company, builder of Ridgid Pipe tools. Some of the more seasoned personnel, suggested that sales should use the phrase:"Every Home Should Have a Ridgid Tool" Management didn't like the idea.
I don't remember many ads from Easco...

My first professional toolset that I payed for with my meager earnings. The set was slightly higher in price than the Craftsman equivalent at the time (if you had purchased the C-Man stuff at full retail). Good tools were expensive, but relatively still affordable compared to other high quality items at the time. Plus in those days all you needed was SAE sizes. Metric stuff was still in the specialized category.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
