Universal?

[vac-o-matic]

I know over the years Landers Frary and Clark made vacuums badged under various names, but this is the first time I've ever seen one under their own name. Even the paperwork says Universal, which I knew were made by them. Is this an oddity? Maybe one of our historians might be able to shed some light on this.

Universal Canisters

I also have a yellow Landers found years ago at a large rummage sale.My vac is in better condition than the EBav vac above but with no hose,attachments or instructions.I think I still have a Universal upstairs same or similar to cover of above book traded by a local customer with gray vinyl hose and a few atts.It, or both,will be offered as I come to them.These were standard late 50s models with the Jet 99 being more deluxe and earlier.
