Dirt has never been a problem.
During the 'disaster', there was an ample supply. Luckily, I'm prepared. This was the 'back staircase'. They need/will get some TLC.

No one else could have said it better. And, there are SO many from which to choose. When lots are lined up together, it's like looking at a box of "James' Salt Water Taffy".... they were /are very popular candies sold on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Just in case you seemed lost on that).
They styles, color combos were endless. (the cleaners, not the candy).

Cheers for the compliment gottahaveahoove.
I must admit it's strange how a vacuum can sum up (for me)so perfectly how a country felt about itself in that era as those 60's Hoovers do. America at the time was unbeaten & full of confidence & thought it could do anything (& probably could!) A look at those Hoovers somehow says that.
You'll have to excuse me I tend to read too much into domestic appliances !
Thanks
Dave

Fab 28!! That is a 'masculine' machine, sinple, understated and ready to perform. Dave! Thanks, we, asa nation appreciate that. It was so true. But!!! Perivale certainly was no slouch, either. Ye made some wonderful stuff that helped drive HOOVER forward. And, that perfect ART DECO specimen of a building. HOOVER was at the top of the mountain. Times, greed, some unions, China.. all happened. Oneday, I'd love to stand in front of that HOOVER facade as I have often in North Canton, Ohio.It was/is 'American Pride" at its best.
Those other cleaners are great, as well. The Dial-A-Matics , (a few flaws) were phenomenol...set the pace for all the new stuff. Yes, the "Concept" seemed to clear up all of the snafus of the DAMs.

...lovely sentiment! I'm in sync with you totally! Hoover is gone but not lost forever. We have our collections to prove it, and they only get more beautiful as time goes on.
