~ Hans, I google-mapped this address. Bishop Street is a narrow, barely three-block-long street, really not much more than just an alley. There are several old commercial buildings on the street. Below are some screen shots of the one that looks like it most likely could have been a vacuum cleaner factory. The business currently in the building is Row Electrical Equipment Co., Inc. The address shown for Row Electrical is 3300 Bishop St. Could it be that there was a typo in the address for Saniway, that it might have been 3310 and not 8310? Another possibility is that the building address numbering could have been changed at some point in time. Either way, the street just isn't long enough to go from a 3000-block address to an 8000-block address. There's another fairly large commercial building across the street from Row Electrical, on the opposite corner. It's currently a Banner Mattress plant. But it's not nearly as large as the Row Electrical building. Here are two links to the google page if you want to go there yourself. The first one is the map view: Google Map View Bishop Street is right in the middle of the map. Then here's the street view: Google Street View You can move the view around with your cursor and the little rotating directional-wheel at the lower-right corner. |

Hans:
The Sani-Way vacuum cleaner wasn't manufactured by Sani-Way, it was manufactured by Kingston. It was a private label for Sani-Way. I imagine that the company in Toledo needed more warehouse space than anything else. Sani-Way did have a door to door program, they probably trained the distributors in the offices. There were three 'versions' of Sani-Way, the first was gold with brown accent trim (same colors as a Golden Monarch Filthy Queen), then the magenta color with flat casters, then the magenta color with ball casters (copying Compact). I believe that 1971 was the last year for Sani-Way. |
