Hi all... Here's the WA Celebrity I won on ebay a few weeks back, it's in great condition looks like it has seen little use So how many retailers did Hoover make machines for, I know of Sears, Pennys, Wards are there any others ? Mark |

Here's the low down:
JCPenney first began selling "real" Hoovers and Eurekas - rather than those equivalents with the JCP label - in 1985. I know my JCP Spring/Summer 1984 catalog still had the JCP-branded versions. If anyone has a JCP Spring/Summer 1985 catalog to confirm the transition, please let me know. Wards? I'd say around 1988, because I remember their last branded take on Eureka's Roto-Matic 1700 series was a purplish-blue color. ~Ben |
