In the dining-room, the Wiz ard man was showing my wife how to clean lace curtains. He had already cleaned the rugs and the picture-moulding, and was in the act of cleaning the wall paper when I arrived. As soon as he saw me, he shut off the power d told me to look in the bag d see the amount of dust he d collected. This was some- what embarrassing for my wife, but the Wizard man seemed to delighted with results. He said he had never collected so much dirt in all his experience Then he called my attention to a patent attachment on the Wiz- ard which he said was one of the B most highly prized inventions in vcs prem the vacuum cleaner world. With (ladys Hiked the Whoozis, and Dustless and : Spotless, he said, you had to empty the dust into a pan, but the patented arrangement on the Wizard enabled you to stick the Wizard out of the window and shoot the dust into the air.. I suggested that the wind might blow the dirt back into the room, but the Wizard man said statistics proved that wind seldom blows in a straight line. He said that wind generally blows up or down and that in such an instance the dirt would be carried either into the apartment upstairs or the one downstairs. At that moment there was a rap at the door.

They refused to con- cede the sale, however, and said that if I would be kind enough to watch out of the window they would run their machine up and down the street. By that time the Dustless man had finished cleaning out the kitchen. He said he had cleaned everything but the ice box, but I told him to leave the ice box alone because I intended to clean that out myself. The Dustless man then called my at- tention to the specially polished handle on the Dustless machine. _. He said tests under the most dif- pitcher is perfectly ficult conditions proved that it ? was absolutely impossible to get splinters in your hands from the Dustless handle. There was no doubt that my wife was enthusiastic about the machines. Although she could see that in order to get her work done she would have to push the cleaner as hard as she ever pushed the maid, there was a comforting thought in the fact that the machine would stop buzzing when the work was finished. The Dustless man then inquired if she would like to have him leave that machine or take it back to the office and send her a new one, but my wife said that before she could make a final decision, she would like to see what his machine could do in the way of wash- It was easy to see that the Spotless man He said his company ing windows. was an accomplished salesman.
