So, I'm looking for some Ad's

[vacuumlad1650]

Hi Folks
Im looking to get some Vacuum Ad's, anywhere from 1908 to around 1965. Any Brand, and Vacuum!
I want to make a collage, as well as a screen saver, so i think vintage Ad's would be perfect
Vintage Hoover and Electrolux ad's especially!
Thanks!!
Andy

Cool adds!

Not getting the relation to a Kirby and the sound of music. Surely the Von Trapp's would have had the housekeeping staff use a Miele or a Lux.

How Sound of Music and D-50 connect

Looking at the Kirby ad they have a Kirby D-50, the Sound of Music and the Gateway Arch.  All 1965 events. 


 


The Arch history BTW indicates the Arch was completed 10-28-65, but did not open to the public until 1968.  "


<div class="df_fb df_ps" tabindex="0">The Gateway Arch was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen and German-American structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction began on February 12, 1963, and was completed on October 28, 1965, for $13 million ($175 million in 2012 dollars)."</div>
 


At least that would be how I would connect them in my mind.

Harley!! Your are! The SOM debut on Broadway in 1963, became a world famous movie in 1965. the St. Louis arch also started construction in 1963, finished in 1968 and opened to the public in 1968 and the Dual 50 debuted in 1965. Winner!

For more than one reason, I wish I'd been born in 1965...lol. Our neighbor bought a D50 and I begged my parents to trade in our 505..nope..nothing doing..nothing wrong with the old one! So, I vacuumed for my neighbor once in a while, she was more than glad to let me.

The Sound of Music on Broadway.

Hi luxflairguy:

A Minor correction here.

The Sound of Music was based on the book 'The Story of the Trapp Family Singers' by Maria Augusta Trapp, J. P. Lipincot publisher 1949. The Story was first a German movie "Der Trapp Family" in 1956, and actress Mary Martin saw the movie and took the idea to Rodgers and Hammerstien in 1958. The show was to be called "The Singing Heart," but became "The Sound of music!" It opened for try-out in New Haven, Connecticut on October 3, 1959 (I was in the audience) and had it's Broadway opening on November 16, 1959.

As for the movie, that was filmed in 1964 and had it's gala opening on March 4, 1965

Why do I know all this? because my family were a close personal friends with the Von Trapps, especially the 'real' Maria, who prefered to be called 'Mother Trapp!'

The picture shown is from the Kirby timeline, so both the movie and that model of Kirby did come out in 1965.

Thanks Mr. Taber! I'm so glad you feel the need to respond with a nitpicking response. This is the 3rd strike in my list of why I'm leaving Vacuumalnd. There was no need for your rude posting. Greg Bushman

Thanks for all the Ad's so far, i LOVE The older pictures!

Also, can we PLEASE Not turn this into a huge argument about who's information about one thing is more correct than another person's?

Just stating the facts.

It certainly was not my intention to insult or offend you, but The Sound of Music is my all-time favorite Broadway show, and it's also my all-time favorite movie.

Many of us here make little corrections about facts that are incorrect, and I've always appreciated it if a member corrected me, but I never went off the deep end over it. My comment was simply to tell why Kirby used those two pictures in their timeline.

And as the young people say, I'm outta here!

 

[cb123]

Alex, I wouldn't let that bother you at all...it ain't nothin' but a thing anyway!

 

[caligula]

Thank you cb123.

I had no idea sharing info that's important to me would set him off. In the order of keeping the peace I simply deleted the info on the stage play of The Sound of Music.

 

[cb123]

I wish you didn't do that, that was a good post! I thought it was some really great information you shared with all of us here on V-Land, and I really did appreciate it a whole lot as I'm sure others did also. That was a great life experience and I'm glad you shared it...Stay strong my friend!

Thank you for the additional information about the Sound of Music.  It must have been something to have known Mother Maria.
