Congratulations Jack! Absolutely Awesome display of Hoover history and evolvment. It is a great story and gives any of we serious collectors the hope of displaying our story of vacuum cleaner history. I too wonder, is the display of modern industrail nature??? Norm | ||

Hello Jack. Very nice to meet you! Always just a beautiful presentation. I think I like your old machines better than museum's new building! I'm really proud of you Jack. Your dedication to your craft is inspiring. Rick | ||

From today's Woking News & Mail, our local paper - I was pleased, they gave the article quite a lot of space! The info and quotes came from the Lightbox press release, which we drafted waaaaay back last year sometime!

Lightbox Hoover Exhibition...!!!
Congratulations Jack, looks fab and worth all the hard work, those little old ladies will be queuing up to join your tour and then hopefully pull out the old relic vacs to give to you!!! Those tags really add detail and are easy on the eye, well done, looking forward to seeing it myself week after next!!! Cheers, Mike | ||

Great Job, Jack
And, I can sympathize with your complaint about the time commitment to make the hang tags. I've done that, but certainly not to the extent you have. It looks like lots of work. Congratulations on a beautiful exhibition. Think of all the younger folks it will inform and enlighten. They may never have SEEN some of these machines EVER! | ||

Wow..
Looking great there Jack, and I see Seamus admiring the literature in the reflection!!! Am very curious as to what age the woman was who mentioned about "Hoovers" ?? sometimes it becomes so indoctrined by nature, nurture & habit that folklaw & marketing becomes reality!!! Fascinating, c u soon!!!, Mike | ||
