1958-1960 Newspaper Ads for Model 260
Hey Brian,
Below you'll see what ads I found when I entered "Eureka Super Automatic 260", "Eureka 260", "Eureka 260 upright", "Eureka Model 260", "Eureka 260 Vacuum".
It seems that back in that era Eureka advertised its canisters in newspapers and magazines more heavily than its uprights and polisher-scrubber-shampooers. Although other databases would have other ad's, I find it hard to believe that none of the newspapers in the one I can access would not have at least one 50th Anniversary ad featuring the model 260. Of course, it's possible!
Side note: Eureka's Disturbulator motto — used infrequently in advertisements — varied from "Beats! Sweeps! Suction Cleans!" to "Beats & Shakes! Sweeps & Combs! Suction Cleans!"
Thanks for the link to the 260 brochure — nifty!
