Sarah, the Electrolux cat.

Hi guys, some months ago I told you of the cat in the Electrolux factory, well here's the actual story. I also printed both pages so you could read the other articles, and have a look at Axel L. Wenner-Gren, the man who started Electrolux.

Alex,

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Glad to hear that your trip was safe and successful!  </span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Thanks for sharing the article about Sarah.  Any idea how long she 'worked' at Electrolux and when she died?  I wonder if she was ever as popular as Morris the cat--was she ever featured in ads?  Come to think of it, did Electrolux ever produce any TV commercials?</span>

Sarah the cat.

Hi Paul, according to the article Sarah was already there when the top Electrolux executives bought the building from the Dalton Lathe company in 1932, and I doubt if she was a kitten. Since cats live from 10-15 years old, I suspect that she lived till the 1940's.


Some months ago I told you about the get well card John Lucia circulated to the entire club. The year was 1992, and it was after I'd had minor surgery. I'm glad I found it, and am able to share it. Because Electrolux made tank vacuum cleaners, Sarah, fortunately didn't need to be a member of this group.
