The vacuum contraption we see in the first post actually does not say American Vacuum Cleaner Company. It says Automatic Vacuum Cleaner Company....which is very different. The word "automatic" has a long history with Eureka Williams in Bloomington, Illinois. The original company was called Williams Oil-a-Matic which referred to their unique home heating device which used cooking oil. When Williams merged with Eureka of Detroit, the company continued to use the "matic" theme with the Roto-Matic canister and "Automatic" upright of the late 1950's. So I wonder if this "Automatic" vacuum device is a very early attempt at making vacuum cleaners by the Williams company in Bloomington. This demands lots more research.....

[QUOTE="eurekaprince, post: 352953, member: 340"] The vacuum contraption we see in the first post actually does not say American Vacuum Cleaner Company. It says Automatic Vacuum Cleaner Company....which is very different. The word "automatic" has a long history with Eureka Williams in Bloomington, Illinois. The original company was called Williams Oil-a-Matic which referred to their unique home heating device which used cooking oil. When Williams merged with Eureka of Detroit, the company continued to use the "matic" theme with the Roto-Matic canister and "Automatic" upright of the late 1950's. So I wonder if this "Automatic" vacuum device is a very early attempt at making vacuum cleaners by the Williams company in Bloomington. This demands lots more research..... :-) [/QUOTE]
