Do the names Bob Hillenbrand, Joe O'Neill or Kathy Hillenbrand ring a bell??

Here's kind-of a strange photo on eBay from 1973. It appears to be a photo of someone's vacuum cleaner collection. I mean, who -else- would have all those hoses?!


 


The names of the people in the photo are Bob Hillenbrand, Joe O'Neill and Kathy Hillenbrand. Just wondering if anyone knows, or knew, these folks.

Narrowed it down to Ohio, possibly Cleveland.


Back says property of Cleveland Press.


The photographer's name is Larry O. Highswander, a Cleveland Press photojournalist.


 


Here is his obit:

Could have been a collection, but I'm wondering if it might have been a vac shop. Most of what I saw in the pic wouldn't have been too old in 1973. The back room in the shop I worked out of when I sold Electro-Hygiene the following year didn't look much different than that.
