Our forced draft fans in battleships are no more carefully made than those in our vacuum cleaners. for instance, our fans ventilate mines, raise wheat from ships, drive chopped corn stalks into silos, convey kindling wood, and exhaust dust and refuse from car- pet cleaning plants and other dusty factories. Sturtevant engineers have experimented three years to design the most efficient combination of fan, motor and dust collector for household vacuum cleaning, and this set is the result—it draws through an inch hose nearly 100,000 cubic inches of air per minute—a force that withdraws dust and dirt with a thoroughness that gives this cleaner a unique sanitary value.

Sturtevant fans, plalled over thirty years, in the hardest kind of service and ll doing good work, testify to their durability. Details of Construction of the Sturtevant Vacuum Cleaner The cleaner consists of the machine, 12-foot hose, an unusually complete outfit of tools for cleaning, 20 feet electric lamp cord and plug, and is operated jm an eleciric light socket. The motor is the same high grade as all our work, absolutely guaranteed. The fan is one piece of aluminum, which, because of gth and lightness, is better than any other material. By using 1-inch hose (most cleaners ase %-inch hose) greater volume and velocity of air are secured at the tool, enabling it to pick up larger particles, and nat greater distances from the tool than is possible with other cleaners. The cleaner is easily rolled about on ee rubber-tired wheels. Guarantee: In judging vacuum cleaners, remember that this is made and absolutely guaranteed by the firm that for 50 years has designed and marketed more high-grade air propelling fans than all other con- cerns in the world combined.
