According to the website linked below, the American GE company sold its floor care division in 1974. All GE vacuums from then on were branded as Premier. Not sure if this affected vacs made north of the border at Canadian General Electric…I think we in Canada still saw CGE vacs in stores for quite a bit longer…at least until the 1980’s.
