Soo cool. What is about the 50s and 60s cartoon like drawings? So simple but they were affective. Awesome collection. |

I respond It would be nice to see vacuum manufacturers resurrect the use of disposable bags, period. As far as it costing money, it really wouldn't. Once you burn the printing plates and set up the press, economies of scale kick in very quickly and the difference in printing a clever advertising message like these and just slapping a logo on the cardboard is pretty negligible. The more you print, the cheaper the unit cost becomes. It really is amazing those bags still exist since they were designed to be disposable. |

Edgar thanks for the info. And yes, it would be wonderful to see more bagged vacuums come down the drawing boards.
Many of my friends and work colleagues that jumped on the bagless craze about 10-12 years ago have switched back. They got tired of dust blowing around every time they emptied the cylinder. One of the reasons I was an Air-Way fan and franchise dealer was that Air-Way was the first to patent the paper bag back in 1920. With bags being what they are today, (minimal leakage compared to just 15-20 years ago), it is hard to understand why anyone would want a bagless………? Charles thanks for the pics of those fabulous Lux bags. You could use them to, "paper", a vac collecting room and see them all the time! |

Besides the bag collar--you could print ads on the bag itself!For large upright bags-look at all of that space!And you have both sides!Surely folks will notice the ads when they put in or take the bags.Now if we could only put ads on bagless vacuum dirt cups! |
