Information
has gloss	eng: Colston-Ariston was founded by ex-Hoover director Sir Charles Colston, and made compact dishwashers, and concluded a deal to distribute Prestcold refrigerators. As sales began to slow, he cut prices and introduced ‘double offers’ such as washing machine + fridge packages, free weekend breaks and even his own trading stamps. The company spectacularly collapsed in 1964 with massive debts. Liquidators found thousands of unsold washing machines in warehouses.
