Model 148 Economy Cleaner

This cleaner is a pre-war model, circa 1938.

Isn't private labeling wonderful?
The word "Rex" means "king" in Latin. Perhaps there was a chain of "rex" stores...
By 1938, that was an outdated machine compared to the Hoover 150, or the Electrolux XXX.

Tom,

I have not heard of "Rex" chain stores, but I have heard of Rexall drug stores, though.
