ssurdly actual- e things that count in Vacuum Cleaning of Air and are Volume faking thousands of revolutions per minute, creates an ab- Jutely even strong suction of more volume and velocity t the cleaning tool than any other device practical for a atable vacuum cleaner. Scientifically designed fans have wonderful power; for in- kance, our fans ventilate mines, raise wheat from ships, ive chopped corn stalks into silos, convey kindling wood, exhaust dust and refuse from carpet cleaning plants and hher dusty factories. Sturtevant engineers have experimented three years to sign the most efficient combination of fan, motor and dust lector for household vacuum cleaning, and this set is the bsult—it draws through an inch tube xear/y 100,000 cubic vhes of air per minute—a force that withdraws dust and it with a thoroughness that gives to our cleaner a unique itary value. Many of the cleaners of our design and manufacture have en disposed of by a selling company (not under our name) rd have given perfect satisfaction. We would not offer a ner under our own name until it had been proved worthy i the fullest Sturtevant guarantee EVENNESS: A vital advantage of fan-made suc an intermittent flow of air. ang, tool fg moving rapidly: evenness of suction Details of construction of the VACUUM CLEANER The cleaner consists of the machine, 12-foot hose, Various tools for clean- ing, 20 feet electric lamp cord and plug, and is operated from an incan- descent electric light socket. The motor is the same high grade we use in all our work, absolutely guaranteed. ‘The fan is one picce of aluminum, which, becaus¢ of strength and lightness, is better than any other material. By using one-inch hose (most cleaners use 3~4-inch hose) greater vol- and air velocity are secured at the tool, enabling it to pick up larger particles, and clean at greater distances from the tool than is possible with a smaller volume of air. ‘The cleaning tools cover all needs; 1. The regular floor tool, with swivi joint, makes perfect contact with the floor at any angle the handle is eld, making it easy to clean thoroughly under furniture. 2. Brush and hardwood floor attachments to slide over the regular tool. 3. A stair tool, narrower than the floor tool, without flange, to reach corners. 4. A long flat library tool for tops of books on shelves, also pigeon holes, radi- ators, etc. §. Two lengths of aluminum tube handle.
