Paul Harvey (1918-2009), a once-popular US radio broadcaster, hosting News and Commentary from 1951 to 2008 and The Rest of the Story from 1976 to 2009, included vacuum cleaners in his segments at least twice—featuring Hoover and Eureka.

1. "The Janitor's Cure" (original air date unknown) on Murray Spangler, the inventor of the forerunner of the Hoover vacuum cleaner



2. The Eureka Excalibur w/HEPA filtration, model 6436, was promoted in some of Mr. Harvey's unlocated commercials and stated in some newspaper ads like the one attached, which also includes the Eureka Bravo II Mega BOSS World Vac model 7820 and Victory World Vac model 4465.

What an amazing video! I've been to the Hoover Historical Center in North Canton, so I knew about Murray Spangler, but this gives more in-depth information that really added to what I already knew. Thank you for posting this!
