[QUOTE="gottahaveahoove, post: 416961, member: 276"] [b]There was a time when HOOVER wanted to be the total [/b] king of household appliances. They even had Knapp-Monarch... a 'division' of Hoover, which they eventually sold. Of course, in England, laundry machines made them vast income!!And, that goes back decades. I have one of the first 'mixers', a big, heavy one.Here is is, along the newer, 1960s types. I believe it came out in the 50s. BUT, Hoover made an iron, early, with the famous 'pancake' dial, which came out in the 40s, similar vintage as the 28 upright. By the 60s they were in full swing, into the 70s as well. Later, they decided to concentrate on 'floor care'. I can check my facts w/ Tom in Ohio. He'll be able to pinpoint it all, as, he'll have all of this at his fingertips. Next time we chat, I'll 'check it out'. [ATTACH=full]131177[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
