I arrived in North Canton, Ohio early this afternoon. I was just here before the convention, but it was all so rushed. First on the list was a trip to Ed Shenkle's (Morrison's Vacuum Shop". I picked up a few Hoover items, (NOS lenses for "Convertible", NOS vinyl outer bag, NOS attachments, etc. Of course, we went around our famed beloved building. Tomorrow, it's on to The HOOVER Historical Center, (I understand Ann Haines has a job for me to do tomorrow) YAY! THen, on to Mr. Dick Pike's for a visit and, I believe, some special HOOVER goodies. The MADNESS HAS BEGUN!!!!!

Well, today,
We went thrifting, then on to The HOOVER Historical Center. Hallie was working there today. I haven't seen her since the Christmas festivities . Ann Haines had some things for me to do. It was great to volunteer there again. Here I am working on papers for the Main Street Festival.

Of course then,
we HAD to clean the place before we went home. Two men arrived, (one from St Louis) came for a tour.
they had a great time as well. Tom cleaned the first floor, while I did the second floor. My choice of vacuum was, naturally a HOOVER Commercial Upright. "All the dirt, all the grit, HOOVER got it, every bit".

This evening, Tom and I went to visit the Pikes.
We talked and talked and talked about everything. Dick truly lives and breathes HOOVER. He is always terribly kind. He gifted me some wonderful things. He found an old postcard. I asked him to sign it for me. He said he wanted to write something on it first. God knows what that'll be! I also managed to purchase a few things. YAY! They are in the car already. i MAY (next time), replace 2 cleaners at home with vault cleaners. THen, I'll sell the 2 at home.
Tomorrow, we're off again. Oh. we met Jane at the restaurant. Tom and I both had HOOVER T-shirts on. People were whispering… (not the first time for THAT). It really is wonderful to have access to all of theses great machines. You know, years ago, when a family was able to purchase a HOOVER (upright OR canister) they were thought to be quite affluent. They'd say, "Oh, I got a HOOVER". THEN, you really were "there" if you had a vacuum for each floor . As the slogan goes. "HOOVER.For Homes With People Who Care". Kinda like Hallmark. "When you care to send the very best. NOT bashing. (do I bash?). Everyone knows HOOVER was 'quality".I'd think, if you were really affluent, you bought "DELUXE TOOLS".

No Fair! I had made plans to visit the HOOVER Historical Center right before the convention, but with the car breaking down in Medina, OH, that didn't happen. It was a wonder we made it to the hotel on the right day! | ||

John, we were so impressed with your haul of beautiful hoover cleaners that we nearly fainted! It's a good thing that John had these lying around to reenergize from the shock of those boxes!

I'm not seeing the humor, Matt.
I think I'd be more concerned about seeing that Dyson in a HOOVER vac store. But, it's neither my Dyson NOR my vac shop. I also get plenty of vitamin C.

I had no 
Idea Robert that's very kind of the both of you looking out for John Gregory , I only posted John Gregory's number to help members on this site to have a source of extensive NOS Hoover parts . John Gregory has stockpiled many Hoover parts that many members always search for . Guess they can just Google John Gregory's store Sweeper Central .

Mike! (May I call you Mike?)
It's great to see you in here. I was hoping to host a summer mini meet. However, the summer seems to be running away from me/us. This weekend, I'm cooking at our church festival, next week, aunt stuff. before you know it, it'll be Fall. We'll just have to settle for the Monster Mash Bash, #3.. in October. More info on that later. Hope all is well with you. And, thanks for the kind words and support. In the BIG PICTURE, this stuff is just 'bubblegum'.

In reply# 17
You'll see a beautiful gift from BILL EDSTROM;;;;;;;;;;;;; a HOOVER "ADVANTAGE". It was such a surprise!! I've seen them, but didn't have one. THANKS, SO MUCH, BILL (The Kirbyguy) Wisconsin, but, originally from...his mom! There's also a nice 29, (I now have 4), a 69 (have5) a 719 (have 3). YIKES!
That gift was awfully kind of you, Bill. And to think: I don't need my 'gloves'!! John | ||

John & Advantage (Hoover)...
Hello John.
It was good talking with you the other day. I'm glad that it was a model (Hoover) that you didn't have in your possession (collection) yet!!! You are more than welcome. It went to a great person. (imho) I know you've built up a 'tolerance' with having sooo many of 'them' (Hoovers); however, just in case, you may still want to wear the 'gloves' as it's NOT a Kirby! (~lol~) Cheers & hagd/n all, Bill | ||
