Today marks the birthday of the great vacuum company that once graced Maple Street in N Canton, Ohio.

 

08-08-08, Hoover's 100, was my first VCCC convention.   Memories.

Happy Anniversary, Hoover Company!

Good memories of Hoover, I'm sure, John!

By the way, is August 8 the day of incorporation? Another online source says that the company was founded on June 2, 1908.
