Let’s peek in all the rooms…

This was originally grandma Helen’s room. She was born in this room in 1913 and passed away in 2019 at the age of 105.

The next rooms...

Hold much more modern appliances.

I always get to clean here

Of course we must pay attention to the staircases.

A great machine

From a great man in a great place on a great day. How fitting that it came back here.

Back at the house...

Dueling Hoovers!  We waited and not a belch could be detected.  Here the 69 is with its cousin the 1070.

I've brought bags and bags of "North Canton Hoover

I'm sure some members will enjoy them. Will Hemm, I thought of you when I saw some of them. A lot of attachments, too. When I saw the bricks that were removed from the MAIN building, and they were embossed, I thought it would be great to give some to people, maybe a dealer. I think it would be nice to have a "piece" of the buildnig where it all happened
It all depends on behavior, of course. Right?

meant to say "North Canton Hoover parts

it cut off. Sorry. I also had access to lots of nice sales signs and sales service signs that could still be used today.

Hoover 69

John,
I can't tell you how much fun it was to see my Hoover at the place where it all happened! Also can't think of anyone who would appreciate it more than you. It was nice to think about Michael Turner. He was a good friend and I miss him. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your trip. I never would have thought my 69 would end up at the Hoover museum doing a run. I thought it had already made a wonderful transition to Michael Turners collection. Thanks for taking the time to share your trip with everyone.

The pleasure was mine!!

I almost brought his 70 as well. I now have three of his machines, and two of Terry's. It was Tom A.'s idea to take the 69 to the center. It was wonderful. I'm glad you were pleased as well. It's in good hands.

Hard to think it was a week ago

already. A lot can happen in a week.
Hope you all enjoyed the pics. Well, some did, I'm sure.

Excellent Photos!

I really wish I had been able to have it there while everything was still open. I have never made it to North Canton though and I have liked numerous models made by Hoover over the years. Tom has a gorgeous collection!
