I A Vacuum Cleaner of 

 I a Higher Type 



January, 1911 



A machine of the highest cleaning power and speed. 



Yet it will not damage the most delicate fabric. It entirely 

 does away with the useless and injurious excess suction that has 

 been the serious objection to vacuum cleaning. This is the greatest 

 advance that has been made in household vacuum cleaning. 



It is an entirely new conception of powerful simplicity. It has* 

 none of the valves, gears, bellows, diaphragms, which are respon- 

 sible for the endless repairs and short-lived efficiency of so many 

 vacuum cleaners. 



It is consequently the easiest vacuum cleaner to use and to take 

 care of. It may be counted on for a lifetime of unimpaired service. 



No other vacuum cleaner has so wide a range of usefulness. 

 No other vacuum cleaner so completely lifts the daily burden of 

 house-cleaning. 



There are lower-priced vacuum cleaners but none that can 

 possibly give so large a return for the money invested.
