Lady Torington Vacuum Sweeper
Made by the National Sweeper Company Tor

4 vacuum cleaner is the natural result Of

brought TO such degree of efficiency that
GOOD combination suction sweeper does Inc
work almost as well as an electric cleaner. J.
not only removes the surface dirt and liter
hut eliminates the embedded dirt as ~e..-ard
all without raising dust. The most elaborate
and expensive Vacuum cleaner can DO no more
than this, although it may do It more easi'y
and possibly more thoroughly.
The Lady Torrington Vacuum Sweeper is
combination machine Of this type, which is
durablv constructed and efficient Il has a
figured chartered hardwood case, mahogany
finish, containing three bellows, alternately
operated by two rubber-tired wheels, upon
which the rear Of the machine rests. The
metal trimmings are nickel pated and at the
forward end is the 1O1s-nch suction nozzle.
Directly in back Of this set into the bottom Of
the sweeper, is the roller bristle brush with its
own dust pans This brush has an adjustment
by which it can be properly set for short med
ium or long nap carpets or lowered as it wears
down. so that it will continue to give salts
factory service.
The machine weighs eleven pounds, will 20
under furniture seven inches high, is easily
operated by wooden handle protected with
steel-threaded socket tip, and cleans thorough
ly the suction removing the embedded dirt
while the brush picks up lint threads, etc. 1t
is run back and forth over the floor like
carpet sweeper and is designed only for use
on fat surface floor coverings.
For the woman with choice rugs, upon which
she prefers not TO use a bristle brush, this
part with the dust pans can be removed as an
unit and just the suction used in the opera
ton. Price $3.50 and $500.
