Well, I made it home last night.
There were storms and a lot of roadwork. It took longer than usual.
But.............
It was a great trip. I'll post more pics soon.
The kitties were very happy when I returned.
I unpacked the car. I only took 3 machines home: a Dial A Matic for Joe Kassock, a beautiful cylinder (tank), the Concept 2 'electronic'. It was there for a little going over. I also got a great coat rack that was from The Hoover Company.
Special thanks to Tom and Heather. Also, thanks to Will. had a great time.

i was able to get some great pics at the center (museum)
this time with my phone camera.
You'll see the parachute. If you made cloth bags...your new 'wartime' job was making parachutes. Fuses, helmets, etc were all made there.
The history just calls out to you when you'r there.

I was also able, this time,
to capture a lot of pics of the hostesses, or tour guides who gave tours of the company. Now, one is a new docent at the museum.

As far as that other vacuum at the store
WE took a pic of that Airway and that other cleaner. I have no idea what it was. I really had no interest in it. We were in so many places that day, I couldn't tell you where it was . There was a Hoover heater there. It looks like it's possible that someone actually went to that store after us, as, it looks like that heater is in a pic.
Unless a collector rushes back to that store, I doubt it will fly out of there.
One flea market had Orecks and Sharks. "Buy one, get one free'. We passed.

The Historical Center is the museum
which documents everything. Every aspect is covered there, in one way or another.
The "Hoover District" is a MASSIVE series of buildings. The "International Building" is being re-purposed..not struggling like a mean-spirited view might have it.
But, no need to pay attention to nasty remarks, if there are any.
I'll continue to visit, and post. Some share an interest in all of it.
Some, well... doesn't really matter.

Here are some pictures of ads from the Hoover company
