O NE Dollar puts the "Richmond" Suction Cleaner in your home. 
One Dollar forever frees you from brooms, mops and dusters— 
and the backaches and drudgery they bring. 
One Dollar forever stops the expense and the nuisance of Spring 
and Fall house cleaning. 
One Dollar enables you to do, easily, by electricity, the worst work 
a woman has to do. 
And One Dollar is the only cash outlay. 
It will bring you the "Richmond” ’ Suction Cleaner complete — 
ready for instant use. 
The balance you pay for month by month out of the actual money 
you save. 
For Vacuum Cleaning is the greatest of all household economies. 
You are paying the price of a suction cleaner, right nozv —whether 
you have one or not. 
You are paying its price out in twice-a-year house cleaning alone 
—for a "Richmond" makes house-cleaning needless, 
times over—in the hard labor of sweeping and dusting which the 
You are paying its price out—many 
"Richmond" ’ makes unnecessary. 
You are paying its*price out again and again in the damage which dust does to your furniture, to your carpets, to 
your hangings, to your clothing—to YOU. 
You are paying the’price of a "Richmond" when a single dollar would save the waste. 
OU see here the lightest and 
simplest suction cleaner 
ever designed. 
1. —is the motor—not a “stock” motor, but 
one built expressly to operate the powerful 
suction fan to which it is directly connected, 
under 
2. —a suction fan which embodies the best 
of all that was learned in two years of steady, 
scientific experiment. 
3. —is the suction nozzle which is pushed 
over the surface to be cleaned—or to which 
can be attached a twelve foot hose for high 
wall, drapery and upholstery cleaning. 
Nothing to Wear Out 
There are no gears, no diaphragms, no 
valves. Nothing to wear or to jiggle loose. 
The complete machine weighs but ten pounds. 
All that any vacuum cleaner or suction 
cleaner can do, this one does. And it does, 
besides, some things which no other machine 
can do. 
You can, for example, use this "Richmond''

Name.. 
Address- 
Suction Cleaner, either with or without the 
hose. 
For use with the hose, we furnish special 
tools for cleaning portieres, walls, books, bed¬ 
ding, upholstery, clothing, hats. 
For Hair Drying 
Also a special attachment for hair drying, pillow 
renovating, etc. 
The hose attachment slides on and off with the same 
ease that your foot slides intb an easy slipper. 
Slip on the hose and the ten-pound "Richmond” 
rivals any machine—no matter how much it weighs or 
how much it costs. 
Slip off the hose, and you have a floor machine, 
which compares favorably in weight with an ordinary 
carpet sweeper—which sweeps on both forward and 
backward strokes and glides over the floor without 
pressure. 
Advantage of Light Weight 
The "Richmond 11 Suction Cleaner enables you, now 
for the first time, to clean by electricity without lug¬ 
ging a sixty to eighty pound machine from room to 
room—upstairs and down. 
It represents as great an advance over heavyweight 
vacuum cleaners as these cleaners represented over 
brooms and carpet sweepers. 
But light weight and easy operation are but two of 
the "Richmond 's’’ exclusive superiorities. There are 
many more. 
The Vibrating Brush 
There is, for example, the vibrating brush, which 
you find in no other machine. 
This brush fits in the floor nozzle of the "Richmond". 
It vibrates at the rate of io.ooo times a minute. 
Not a rotary motion to wear the carpet, but a light 
up-and-down tapping motion. 
Limited Offer 
The Dollar 
Offer is lim¬ 
ited. It is made to show our unbounded 
confidence in the "Richmond” . But by its 
very liberality, it is bound to swamp the 
factory. And when the limit of factory 
output is reached the offer must be with¬ 
drawn. 
So send the coupon today while the 
opportunity is still yours! Don’t wait. 
Do it NOW. 
Taps Out the Dirt 
The vibrating brush taps the caked dirt out of the 
carpets and fabrics which no other machine could clean. 
The brush slips in or out, without the use of tools. 
It is but the work of ten seconds to take it out or put 
it in. 
And without the brush the "Richmond" will do all 
that any machine—vacuum or suction—can possibly do 
without working injury to even the finest fabric. 
Simplest Construction 
We could multiply comparisons endlessly. 
But without saying more, you can judge our confi¬ 
dence in the "Richmond” by the fact that we do not 
only cover it with the broadest possible guarantee, but 
we give you besides a full year to pay for it. 
Saves Its*Own Cost 
If convenience and perfect cleanliness were worth 
nothing; if it were worth nothing to put an end to the 
backaclies of sweeping; to the drudgery of dusting; to 
the bugbear of annual house-cleaning—if all these were 
worth nothing, remember this: The "Richmond" ’ Suc¬ 
tion Cleaner will pay its own cost and Barn you a 
Profit besides from the actual month-to-month money it 
Guaranteed One Year 
Surely you must see that the "Richmond" Suction 
Cleaner must give perfect service, perfect satisfaction, 
day after day, month after month ,* else we could not 
afford this offer. Snip out the dollar coupon and
