From the January 1973 edition of WOMAN'S DAY - the '73 Cleaning featuring the Model 3610 (?) Hoover Floor-A-Matic & Model 1265 Eureka Power Team. Groovy! |

Oh for F’s if sake, somebody disconnect that hose from the power nozzle! Such a horrible thing to do to a hose when you’re not using it! I bet that one didn’t last very long. |

That was a staged photo created by an art director - not a real closet. He or she probably faced a challenge fitting the orange Eureka canister sitting on its end under the first shelf with the hose connected and so decided to disconnect it from the canister and hang it on the wall hook instead. In real life, most users kept the hose connected at the canister and disconnected at the wand.

Ah the folding shopping trolley, my great grandmother had one of those for getting groceries at the local family-owned supermarket run by locals in the neighborhood, which was just 2 blocks from her house and within a neighborhood itself. Not something you see anymore. She also had a "cleaning closet" in her house.

I also see Noxon metal polish in the green metal can.
Somewhere, in a cupboard at my parents' house, I bet they still have that exact same can. Oh! And "Big Wally" wall cleaner! I missed that one the first time. I used to like using that as a kid, when I would help Mom with housecleaning. There might still be an empty can of that hanging around their place too. Do people even clean their walls any more? Never mind there being a cleaner made specifically for it. |
