Vacuum shop stickers on vacuums

[gottahaveahoove]

Cole,

I've also used a hairdryer on the stickers.
A lot of times, the service person will write the date of service on the underside of the base. That is nice to know the service the machine got.
I have a few interesting sticker from all over the U.S. but, generally, the sticker are gone.
Supposedly, the late Betty Fritz made a fuss when I reminded her... no stickers. That very well may never have even happened at all.

Betty Fritz!

Oh I wasn’t going to, but you served me this one on a silver platter! You apparently lost it in her store when one of your machines was returned to you... incidentally apparently after you were asked to leave, while you were en route to the next store, she placed a call to the next store giving that poor guy a heads up on what was heading his way. He’s the one who told me that story, and I believe him. I have heard many more fascinating stories as well. We could really have story time, if you’d like...

My favorite story is the one with the TTI executive and you accosting him about the bag plant, and you weren’t even supposed to be there!

Looking at the vacuums I can get to, only my Kirby Sentria, one of my Gsixes, My little Eureka canister and my Electrolux Super J. have dealer stickers. The one on the Super J is actually hidden inside the bag door. My Silverado Deluxe has what appears to be a dealer sticker but on closer examination, it is a five-year warranty sticker that includes the machine's serial number.

As I mentioned previously, I see the stickers as part of the machine's 'pedigree' and with the exception of the Eureka, they're all in inconspicuous spots so I just leave them be.

My Silverado has its sticker in exactly the same spot there maybe that was their habit out of sight

Yeah, the design of those canisters lends itself to hiding the sticker there.

This Constellation on eBay has a pretty nice looking vacuum shop sticker on it. From Midwest Sewing and Vaccum Center in Wichita, KS. Plus interesting it was serviced at least in 2005 or later from the sticker's years. It made me think of this thread.

sometimes, the stickers are put in an awful place.

Every time I ever took a cleaner to be serviced, I kindly told them I did not want a sticker. At no time did I have an "instance" in a vac store. No one ever called other shops, either. Instead of stickers, I always kept the invoice. 2 local, now long closed shops had nice invoices, and I have them as mementos.

Oh Reggie

Do TELL. I want to hear all about her fits and how she was thrown out of a store.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

and, Cole (last comment).......

I, myself, was never thrown out of anywhere: a vac store, club, etc.
Hearsay can turn into rumors, into lies, etc.
But, I have neither the time nor the interest.
How old are we all?

For instance

I've been inside Bag Plant #2 twice, while it was open and running. I was there the day the last Elite was made. I met Ray Porter, Angie, and a host of others. Tom A. and I were welcomed there AND were given gifts. So, I don't know how it could have ever been said, by anyone, that I shouldn't have been there. THEY took the photos.
But, you see how things can be invented, for a bigger truth, for people to hear?
It's asinine, really.People like, enjoy, live to hurt, scandalize others. Perhaps they can't really help it. We'll pray for them, I guess. What else could you do? Sue them?or, just ignore them, I suppose.

So, it just proves, that some folks can't distinguish facts from lies. So, almost anything after "Hello" is suspect.
We shouldn't bother ourselves with nonsense[this post was last edited: 6/12/2021-11:04]

John G. just told me the whole story. Wow. But you know how the last word is. Watch....

I'll NOT respond to certain posters. I will not give them craved attention.
But, please know that I'm not going to entertain any taunting .
It seems Mr. Gregory has created a story, (for a bigger truth), that has 'caught on' like wildfire.
It seems that, possibly, a consultation with, letter from my attorney might finally be due. Either way, I'm NOT going to put up with any more of this nonsense.
And, Robert, thanks for all you do. I'll be home recuperating from surgery (tomorrow), so, I'll gladly be able to speak with you on the phone, if you'd like.
Thank you.

Here's one on a Compact C4 - this shop only recently closed.

Rubbing alcohol

Spray and the stickers come off easy.
