*'Quilt" 



A "Comforter'' that will Keep the 

 Whole Family Warm 



A house lined with Cabot's Sheathing 

 Quilt will be wind and frost proof. It will 

 be warm in winter and cool in summer. No 

 heat can get out nor cold get in, or vice versa. 



It is not a mere paper or felt, but a thick 

 matting which retains the warmth as a bird's 

 plumage does. '■'It is cheaper to build warm 

 houses than to heat cold 07tes."

The Vacuum Cleaner 

 Made by Sturtevant 



When Sturtevant engineers succeeded in compress- 

 ing into a 2-foot machine the powerful principle of 

 high-pressure fan-suction — 



They produced the vacuum cleaner that has trebled 

 the usefulness of household vacuum cleaning. 



For fifty years Sturtevant fans have been solving some of the world's big mechanical problems. They 

 suck cargoes of wheat from the holds of ships, dravf bad air from the deepest mines, exhaust refuse from 

 factories. The same principle reduced to its simplest terms, makes the 



Siuriewai

Vacuum 

 Cleaner 



t has wonderful power. 



It gets all the dirt, big and little. Tests show it will get three times as much dirt out of a room as a broom. 



t is the simplest portable cleaner in the world. 



Its working parts are a motor, a suction fan and a dust receptacle — nothing else. 



t will not damage fabrics. That's the great bugbear of vacuum cleaning. 



It replaces the excessi've suction of the ordinary suction cleaner (which pulls and tears every fabric it 

 touches) with its wonderful air-column, drawing through its hose nearly 100,000 cubic inches of air per 

 minute. It has extraordinary cleaning efficiency, yet it ivill not injure the most delicate fabric. 



t does its work quickly and easily. 



No going over and over the same space to get it clean. 



t will last. 



There is nothing to wear out. . None of the valves, bellows and gears whose leaking and wearing 

 down make constant trouble and repairs. 



t is both a suction and a blowing machine. 



Invaluable for aerating mattresses, and a dozen similar 

 purposes. 



t has largest capacity. 



Will clean a whole house without emptying. Most port- 

 able vacuum cleaners must be emptied after every room. 



Our Booklet will give you a new idea of the real possibili- 

 ties of household vacuum cleaning.
