The Shoulder Strap Handy
In large establishments where
powerful suction machines are
maintained for cleaning floors
large rugs and literally acres of
heavy draperies, with probably a
man servant to manage the lob,
there is also need for smaller sue
tion cleaner for book shelves, stair
ways-the treads, balusters and
carved or velvet ratings or ropes +;
the upholstered interiors of coupes
and limousines, crevices of carved
wood surfaces, etc. On the. other
hand, in the miniature apartment of
two rooms. where every inch of
storage space is at premium and
i a full-size vacuum cleaner could
hardly find place. to rest its
wheels, q small but powerful clean
ling device is welcome for floors,
rugs, woodwork, curtains and fur
liishings.

Handy-to be carried on a strap

Your hand on this assists in moving

while the other hand is nlaneuvering

fan housing is suspended the de-
tachable dust bag (about the size
of a large ham) with an opening
at the lower end through which the
1 dust is emptied. This opening is
fastened by steel clip. Twenty
feet Of flexible electric cord comes
with this machine and allows
wide cleaning area from the lamp
socket or Dashboard outlet.
Many Uses for This Model
This knapsack model is indeed
handy for special types Of cleaning
which require free movement from
place to place. You can stand on
La ladder and reach into dark
shelves, or remove the dust from
ceiling light fixtures, holdings
and other high objects. In the IN
stitute kitchen it was used with
satisfaction to clean the back of
the shelves of a deep closet where
foods are stored. Tea had been
spilled and the leaves were easily
taken up without the necessity Of
removing the many bottles and
boxes from the shelves.
For the most comfort in carrying
the machine from room to room,
adjust the strap so that the motor
and handle are hip high: the, parts
ordinarily carried weigh about six
pounds. Not too much for the
brief morning busting in the small
apartment; nor is it too heavy for
. man using It longer periods. The
woman who chooses the Handy for
its low price and then uses it for
general cleaning and for the work
usually done by full size machine
must be content to have a little oa
that tired feeling in one shoulder.
