Should you be passing along College
avenue you might see one of the
! sedate matrons. hauling child's wag-
| on, and at first you would be shocked
| For in this wagon is something that
| closely resembles a beer keg. Upon
| investigation you will find it to be a
| very harmless but useful electric
/ vacuum cleaner.
| The ladies have formed a club OF
] ten to operate this machine in their
homes, and on certain days each mem
Der is to have the use of the machine
! and is to send or go for it as describ-
ed. 1t only weighs so pounds and any
| mother who has raised bouncing boys
can handle it with ease. The machine
cleans rugs, hardwood floors, walls,
4 curtains, upholstered furniture, mat
| tresses and pillows, in fact, cleans and
/ dusts the house.
/ There are also vacuum cleaners
!, worked by hand power for those who
do not use electricity in their homes,
and a club of five is being formed to
I operate one.
| The times are ripe for all kinds Of
machines to help keep the home in or
| der, for the "hired girl' is passing
away and will soon be a thing of the
past. No doubt the young matrons OF
today will some time be telling their
grandchildren chow their mother al
ways kept a servant to do the work
| electricity now runs machines to do
