The Hoover lifts the rug from the 
floor, like this—flutters it upon a 
cushion of air, gently “beats” out its 
embedded grit, and so prolongs its life

The perennial beauty of a valuable rug is the reward of fre¬ 
quent and thorough cleaning. Such cleaning is easy to 
perform with The Hoover because it beats ... as it sweeps, 
as it suction cleans. All injurious embedded grit is fluttered 
out by gentle beating. All stubborn litter is detached by swift 
sweeping. All loose dirt is withdrawn by strong suction. 
Only The Hoover combines these three essential operations. 
And it is the largest selling electric cleaner in the world.
