Hirsch’s
Pietermaritzburg took some time to personally visit some customers from the
80’s and found that they still had appliances purchased from Hirsch’s from when
they first opened in PMB.
86
year old Mr & Mrs Laubscher were full of stories about their Hirsch
Experiences over the years. All appliances in their home had been purchased at
Hirschs, the Toshiba washing machine that they had replaced was bought 20 years
ago and only stopped working recently. Mrs Laubscher’s first microwave was
bought in 1979 at the store in Winston street and Mrs Laubscher herself
attended the microwave classes taught by Margaret Hirsch. The Laubscher’s still
have their orginal Hirsch TV’s, Fridges and appliances.
The
next visit was to Isabelle & Ken Steele who contacted Margaret regarding
their 25 year old Whirlpool washing machine that they had purchased at Hirschs
in 1988.
Ken
told us that Margaret had personally sold him the washing machine that the
steele’s have used everyday for 25 years, sometimes doing up to 3 loads a
day. They wash blankets, carpets and even slippers in the machine. “A
little bit of Tender Loving Care keeps appliances running for 25 years”
They said. If the the Steeles ever need to replace the machine it will
most definitely be a Whirlpool and most definitely from Hirschs.
“What
amazing visits! It makes our job so worth while to see the joy that
our appliances bring into peoples homes and in their everyday lives.” Said
Hirsch’s Victoria Laubscher.
