Advantages of the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner

You have to beat rugs to get them clean.

Nothing very new about that, is there? You’ve heard it a thousand times. If you’ve ever kept house you know it’s true.

Because it is true, it wasn’t enough that The Hoover should whisk up dust and lint from the surface of carpetings.

No; so long as it was the deeply embedded dirt that did the damage, The Hoover must be designed to get that, too.

What better method of getting it than to apply the time-tested principle of beating— of jarring the buried dirt to the, surface so it would be suctioned away?

Such is the reasoning behind The Hoover, which as everyone knows is the electric cleaner that beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans.

Such is the practical common sense behind the now-famous principle of “Positive Agitation,” which is beating reduced to an exact scientific process.

Such beating, instead of being concentrated in a few violent strokes as with the carpet-beater or broom, is modified by The Hoover into a series of swiftly repeated air-cushioned taps. This is accomplished by means of a totally new appliance—the exclusive and patented Hoover Agitator illustrated here.

Suction lifts the rug from the floor and floats it on a cushion of air while the Agitator gently flutters out all the embedded grit.

Then strong suction draws all this dirt into the dust-tight Hoover bag.

Simple, isn’t it? Efficient, too. “You have to beat rugs to get them clean.”

The difference between The Hoover and a vacuum cleaner is that The Hoover does beat them—”Positive Agitation” being a feature of the celebrated Model 700 Hoover and of the lower-priced Model 543 Hoover as well.

Authorized Hoover Dealers will make you an allowance on your old cleaner, delivering you a new Hoover on easy payments. Cash price, the Model 700, $75.00 or the Model 543 Dusting tools, $12.50. Prices slightly higher west of Rockies and in Canada.

   Do you have a photo of the 1927 Hoover Vacuum cleaner? My grandmother has an old Hoover that still works. It looks like it might be from the 1920’s.
