Soooo, what’s this about? Anyone out there seen one? No bags or valves. It kinda reminds me of the original Federal electric cleaner that was advertised as portable. Lol

that's a little small
let's enlarge a bit.
This ad kinda makes me laugh I mean back then maybe this was a lightweight portable machine but it's in a oak cabinet and this would most likely be a very heavy machine by modern standards. I am rather curious though as to how this ran, was this a motor similar to modern motors or was this powered by a bellows system and what's this about no valves? Without a bag how did it capture dirt?

"Right Mechanical Priniciples"...
I love the line "It is substantially constructed along the right mechanical principles". It sounds great but what the hell does it mean? What makes a mechanical principle right or wrong? Is this contextual, depending on the mechanism to which it is being applied? And what about that phrase "substantially constructed"? That could refer to durability but could it alternately mean that it was mostly constructed according to these elusive "right mechanical principles" but maybe they threw a few 'wrong' principles at it as well? It all goes to show there's nothing new under the sun when it comes to marketing doublespeak.
