floor, like this — flutters it upon a 
cushion of air, gently "beats ” out its 
embedded grit, and so prolongs its life 
Give her a Hoover and you give her a lifetime of pride in 
an immaculate home. You give her an electric carpet- 
beater that flutters out all injurious embedded grit; an 
electric carpet-sweeper that brightens colors, straightens 
nap and collects all stubborn, clinging litter; and an 
electric suction cleaner that removes surface dirt. Only 
The Hoover combines these three essential devices in one. 
And it is the largest-selling electric cleaner in the world.
