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.
It fs so substantially construct
ed that it is unqualifiedly guar
' anteed. j.
The makers, Hamilton Beach

thing on its efficiency and qual
ity. They are accepting a smal

selves, content that he future
