This is the first time I have ever seen this episode! I very well remember the episode of I Love Lucy in which she is sold a Westinghouse tank cleaner by a door-to-door salesman. I also know that the show had some sponsorship contract with Westinghouse in the early 1950’s. But I never saw this Westinghouse upright on the show!

Thanks for that info Patrick. So I wonder how Westinghouse allowed “I Love Lucy” to show several of their products on the show in those early years. Viewers can clearly see the Westinghouse name on the refrigerator in the kitchen and on the upright and canister vacuums in the two episodes that feature them. There must have been some contract signed for these product placements.
