Safeguard Their Health
By Electric Cleaning!

IF every Mother knew the danger
l. to her children that turks in dirt
infested rugs and floor coverings,
she'd not sleep until they were as
clean as only the electric vacuum
cleaner can clean them.
Dirt has no place in the home,
no more than disease and Sickness,
Where there are youngsters it must
be fought as pernicious evil!
But because it is not always visible,
many housewives believe themselves
free from it. Nevertheless, it is
present, lurking in floor coverings,
hiding in hidden corners, cracks and
crevices, breeding disease, vermin
and contagion.
The floor is the natural indoor
playground for the kiddies and their
household pets. Rugs and carpets
collect all the hairs, lint and litter,
as we'll as the tracked-in grit. This
is ground under foot, deep into the
web, along with the germs that
thrive on foreign matter. Sweeping,

dislodges surface dirt, scattering it
about the house, while driving the
fine minute particles of grit and
CRIME still deeper into the fabric.
Only the electric vacuum cleaner
removes this embedded germ in
tested dirt, without injury to the
nap or fabric. Only the electric
cleaner cleans Away all foreign mat
ter without raising dirt storms.
Only electric vacuum cleaning
brightens and renews coverings,
upholsterings and'furnishings, while
prolonging their life, enhancing their
beauty, safeguarding precious young
lives by making the home hygieni-
cally clean. Considered from every
