I bought this pamphlet a few months back at one of my churches fund drives for our missionaries in Guatemala - for our church planting and children's hospital project. Most unfortunately, you could strain your eye's, and not find a date printed anywhere. If someone could tell me the date that this was published, I would be most obliged. On a second note, I do believe Hamilton Beach is still in the business of making ceiling fans.

Thank You Calem!
Yes, the brochure you posted was helpful. However, my SweeperVac doesn't look as good in person as it does in the pic. lot of work to do on it yet. Enjoyed the pics you posted as well. The Eurekas and Kirbys are beautiful, as is the Scott & Fetzer!
As for Hamilton Beach, they are still producing small appliances as well. Or at least, there are still appliances produced with the Hamilton Beach name. Interesting too, that the Westinghouse small appliance lines were sold to Hamilton Beach/Scoville in 1970. Jeff | ||

 Calem -
I have the matching ad for that pamphlet, published in the June 1922 "The Ladies' Home Journal". They show the little motor being used with a polisher, a fan, that mixer pictured, a grinder wheel, the sewing machine, and , of course, the vacuum cleaner. Great stuff. I can't scan the ad because it is too wide and tall for my scanner. | ||

I thought so too, but it seems like their going out of their way to make the bag look inflated. Their is no other photos, but from this single vantage. I can only guess that their must be another pulley - one around the brush roll, to the fan, and back to the motor. Now on a lighter note, I've known adults who wanted to stick their tongs in light sockets, if you can believe that, and if she didn't pass out - once that twenty amps grabbed her, she would have most surely died. Needless to say that broke her from sucking eggs, and for some strange reason, she don't want to play kiss the light socket any more. She was cured of her uncontrollable compulsion. Now for the over-powering, hypnotic spell of the mesmerizing pulley. It would most undoubtedly prove to irresistible to some weaker folks, and soon the call of the spinning belt would win out, and then they would have to find someone else to open their ketchup bottles, and pirates of the Caribbean would be their favorite show. Ahoy Mattie's !

Yes, I also wondered about that inflating bag. If the little motor is just doing the job of turning the sweeping brush, what is inflating the bag? Perhaps you are right....the motor is doing more than just turning the brush.
Tongue in a light socket? WHHHYYYY???!! I guess you are right.....if it doesn't kill you, you will never be interested in doing it again. Experience is a great teacher. - J | ||
