    Yesterdays Find.

    I took my Kirby in for service. It needed a new switch and cord. After I picked it up and was heading down the street, I saw this big pile of mud more on the road than the sidewalk. It was another Kirby totally soaked by the passing cars. I thought it was too far gone to bring home, but I did...

    Hoover Dial-A-Matic U6003

    Nice paint job! The dial a matic I think is my favorite. My aunt had a green one that matched her shag carpet perfectly. A couple of years later my mom bought the same one. I always liked the way the Check Bag metal sign would bounce up and down when you vacuumed.

    what vacuum would you get if...

    I was looking in the Sears catalouge last night picking the best from the worst. They all seem to be about the same. I would probably pick the cheapest Kenmore. The Dysons are way too expensive. If I had to choose, I would get central vac instead. It was only $100.00 more.

    Does Anyone Know About A 1912 Tuec -

    Budd's department store in Kitchener was still using their tubes the last time I was in there. That was 8 years ago. I know they didn't take debit cards, not sure if they took credit cards or not.

    Hoover Handle Question

    Just looking at todays picture. Was there a reason that the handle of todays vacuums are attached at the back instead of in the middle the way the old Hoover handle is? Was it just for esthetics or is it just easier to push?

    The Eureka I knew is no longer......

    Pete, my dog Stallone isn't as handy with the vacuum as your dog,too short to reach the handle.He is quite handy with the shopping though.
