Homes that use electric vacuum cleaners
are not only cleaned to stay clean, but they
are usually healthier homes and happier
homes The cost of an electric vacuum clean
er is so moderate, the amount of electricity
used SO triflngly small that no modern home
should willingly do without this universal
modern convenience. No really modern
home can do without an electric vacuum
cleaner any more than it could do without
electric light.
