In buying a cleaner 

 consider: Is it of a 

 design that will work 

 well for many years ? 

 Will it clog up while 

 working? Is its suction so 

 violent as to injure fabrics? 



These questions should decide your b 



It is easy to make a vacuum cleaner that 

 will work splendidly for only a few months. 

 But it is not good sense for you to buy it or 

 for us to make it. 



Our experience in making air-driving appa- 

 ratus exceeds that of all other firms combined. 

 It covers such problems as ventilating mines, 

 forced-draft for battleships, sucking wheat 

 from the holds of ships, conveying shavings 

 and kindling wood. This experience taught 

 that the right vacuum-cleaning principle was 

 the revolving fan. 



A fan suffers little wear, cannot leak, has 

 no valves, gives a continuous instead of an 



This Oddly 

 Shaped Fan 



is the answer to these 



common-sense questions 

 about Vacuum Cleaners. 



It has an unusually large dust-screen. Small 

 screens clog and so cut down the current of air. 

 It is very handsome, finished in aluminum. 

 It is suited for homes, theatres, hospi- 

 tals, hotels, etc. It will give the 

 best of service for years. Simple 

 in operation, and nothing to get 

 out of order.

intermittent suction, makes no clatter or groan- 

 ing, and does not lose efficiency. That is why 

 a fan is better and lasts longer than a pump, 

 bellows or diaphragm. 



Besides articles shown in the picture, we 

 include another length of hose for blowing and a 

 clothes-cleaning tool. The cleaner takes its 

 power from an electric-light socket, and has a 

 working radius of 32 feet. Easily rolled about. 



The things that count in vacuum cleaning 

 are volume of air and continuous suction. The 

 Sturtevant moves about 100,000 cu. in. of air per 

 minute — which gives unusual cleaning efficiency 

 without injury to threads of delicate fabrics.

 and is neatly finished in aluminum. 



We make only this one style of cleaner for 

 household use, as our tests show that it is the 

 smallest machine that is practical and durable, 

 and we do not care to manufacture a cleaner 

 that is a toy, or which will go to pieces or fail 

 to do satisfactory work. This machine bears 

 the same strong guarantee that goes on all our 



apparatus.
