There used to be a store close to where I live called National Wholesale Liquidators, and their circulars always came in the mail. They had a large array of vacuums, even sold some NIB that had been discontinued for quite sometime, liek the Dirt Devil MVP and the Hoover Softguard. I was wondering if anyone has kept a collection of their circulars, because we threw them out not too long after we got them. This was like back in 2001 or 2002. I'd love to see them again!!!!! I found ONE on the wayback archive.

When I was a young boy, still in the “vacuum cleaner closet”, I used to go into the trash to retrieve whatever newspapers and magazines were being thrown out in order to cut out advertisements for vacuums. Since my father was an advertising producer for a Canadian electronics importer, he also used to get “Home Furnishings Daily” which always had a lot of trade ads from Eureka and Hoover and other vac-makers. I used to go gaga over HFD’s special editions for the bi-annual Housewares Show at Chicago’s McKormick Place!
I would collect all the ad clippings in a large envelope and hid them at the bottom of my night-table drawer - like a stash of porn!!!!! 🤣 |

Do you still have your appliance "porn"?
If not, what did you do with it? |

You will not believe this, but the stash “disappeared” one day from my night-table! I am sure my mother threw out the collection without even asking me. And because there was no discussion afterward, it re-enforced the idea that this was something to be ashamed about. It must have been one of those weekly “cleaning lady days” and they needed to move furniture to clean or something. Pretty sad, huh? Our family was full of “undiscussed secrets.”
When I became a teenager and inherited a lockable file cabinet, I finally had a way to protect the new collection I had to rebuild from scratch. But boy did I lose a lot of valuable vacuum advertising when she threw away that first collection...☹️ |
