Hi everybody at both vacuumland and the V.C.C.C., my trip produced a treasure trove of things that are not new to the old timers like John Lucia, Charles Richard and a few others. However, most of you have never seen this, and I know you will love it.
There's 30 years worth of things and it will take me months to scan it all. My favorite ads, pictures and so on will go in over the next weeks. I pnly brought home a few patent books, the rest was shipped. Shipping cost for just paperwork was $157.00, and that will be delivered via UPS on Tuesday. Yes, I did find a signiture from James B. Kirby, and my Electrolux patents. What I want to share later today is the story on Sarah the cat from my book "Electrolux Corporation, the first forty years. And for all the Electrolux buffs into the model LX I'd like to share the info on the former factory in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. So this is just the tip of the iceberg. Alex Taber |

This was taken from 'The Elextrolux News' published in the early 1950's (that issue at least). I ran that article in an early newsletter about 1983. I suspect that when Electrolux closed the factory in Connecticut, these machines were scrapped. Only the employees could see them, and I was one of them!
I need to find a way to post pictures that won't take here. Those are truly awesome! Alex Taber |
