But these qualities are of little value unless the machine is SIMPLE in DESIGN and OPERATION. Let your common sense be your guide. “ mplici . ery superfluous worl Simplicity of Design ing part is sure to make trouble through wearing out. The Sturtevant has only one moving part (the fan) besides the motor. It has no gears to loosen, no valves to wear out This means durability and many years of efficiency. The dust-screen and dust-collector are extremely simple and easily managed. Nearly the whole cylindrical front of the cleaner is given to screen- ing and collecting the dirt. A small screen must soon clog. The Sturtevant will clean a whole house ithout clogging. Don't be fooled by claims of “compactness and consequent light weight.” A small dust-screen is a constant nuisance through speedy clogging. The motor is separated from the dust by a solid aluminum wall. This is one rcason why our cleaner outwears others, in which there is constant sifting of fine dust into the motor. implici Gon Anyone can use the Simplicity of Operation Sheet Staple connect the cord with an electric t, turn the button and you have nearly 100,000 cubic inches of air rushing through the hose cach minute. The I-inch hose gives nearly twice the air-volume of the ordinary %-inch hose, with greater velocity at the cleaning tool, thus picking up larger particles and working at a greater distance from the tool. The dust-bag is reached by turning two thumb- screws and letting down the door which forms the top half of the front of the cleaner. This can be done in just a few seconds, although the dust receptacle is large cnough to hold the gatherings of several cleanings. The absence of complicated parts to get out of order and the extreme simplicity of operation make the Sturtevant Cleaner: ecially valuable for house- keepers who are not skilled in mechanical things. Above all else keep facts in mind: 1. A_ revolving Fan must long outwear any pump, bellows or diaphragm, because it suffers almost no wear and tear, also it gives a constant instead of an intermittent suction.
