My Little Shop of Floor'ers....LMAO
Dave,
Was so good to see you, and even better that we can do it this weekend again we we come up to Sarina. I usually am quite willing out help out others if I can. And if you need the help again for the shipping, just holler my way.
I remember you saying that you got a few shots of this "Roswell like" secret warehouse that had all the vacs in Ohio. Looking over the within, I can definitely see a treasure or two for meself. I'm sure others here are drooling also. At my old job up in Lansing we had a whole third floor of the old factory building the owner had bought for a song a few years beforehand; about the width and length of this pole barn, filled with vacuum cleaners of all kins and sorts, all rowed out and sorted like that. That took me three days solid to do when i started. By he time I left three years later, I could recant by number and row, where a machine was. this helped out my helper who usually was the gopher when I needed stuff at the main store. I guarantee that's not he way it is today. They're dumb As#$%les, and wouldn't know a system if it bit them in the privates..
My Store.... GOOD god , when you see it in person it doesn't look that sardine packed in here, but by the look of your pictures, I gotta lotta stuff here in my shoebox. We as i explained used to have that whole next section, but when the hair salon moved, and the Sewing Machine Store next door sold us of, we became our own little thing...next to where we used to be.
I'm so glad that your FloorWasher made it in one piece, and it's wonderful to see that you have two now. Completing the set. As we saw with the canister when we were still visiting, most people who know, know how to ship an item correctly AND safely. It's these idiot yahoo's that grabbed granny's vac while she was asleep on the lanai and tossed it in whatever box they could find, with minimal wrapping needs to make a quick buck that usually cause the damages, and loss.
Pete- I'll answer..three. And as cold as it was that afternoon, was a good thought. I wish I had a brain to think out things like that sometimes.
Ah the Royal Pony.... Truly the last decently made, all metal, well represented vac that was available from America Inc. Dave I forgot to add, as It snapped into my mind about the time you hit the ferry, and I was about to be In Lansing that that was our VERY last Royal Pony model that we sold before they were discontinued. I know this because they moved the motor speed control back from the hand grip to in front of the metal push switch on the back.
Sam, If you ever have owned a Kenmore, with the double-brush, double beater-bar agitator, you then already know how it cleans...VERY VERY well. This was the same unit that was used on Panasonic, Hayden, Royal, Air-Way and Sears Kenmore amongst others, including some central vacs as well; that I've simply forgotten to mention.
NICE thread...
