Vacuum Cleaners Are as Different as Automobiles Are No two cleaners are alike. They vary greatly in what they cost to make; they range wide ly In efficiency: they differ much in strength and lasting ness. Dut unfortunately they are all priced at within a few dol lars of each other, which seems to imply that they are pretty much alike. They aren't! There is Just as much difference between Vacuum Cleaners as there Is between a Chevrolet and1 a Cadillac. So the careful purchaser will do well to demand a full dem onstration In his own home, of any cleaner presented to him. And he should Insist on seeing its specifications In printed form, to guarantee their accur t acy. A really great cleaner, and why There are other cleaners that have a beating brush. There are other cleaners that have strong suction. But only the Hamilton Beach has both. Hence It unites In one mach ine all the cleaning advantages of both these good' types, and besides gives double efficiency.
