It says "Easier, faster, better cleaning is enjoyed by thousands of American women who already have today's new Apex all-metal cylinder-type home cleaners. Powerful suction removes dirt from rugs, drapes, upholstery - wherever dirt collects". The second one says "Easier handling! Lock-tight construction of Apex home-cleaning tools is so simple that a child can put them together, yet so secure that they will not come apart in use. Packaged with every Apex cylinder-type cleaner is a complete set of cleaning tools for every home cleaning task". The third and final drawing and information says that it has "Extra convenience! Exclusive Apex swivel adapter enables every cleaning tool to swivel or turn - quicker, easier access to places you may not now be able to clean!

Pictured in the ad are three "homemakers", two women and one man. Hmmmph. The ad text says that if you Woman # 1 "Take this young newlywed, for instance. A pretty tight budget kept her from going overboard on her first vacuum cleaner. That's why she bought the new Hoover Slimline. She got herself a full-powered canister cleaner complete with attachments, yet she paid less than $40 for it. Her husband thinks she's the thriftiest gal in town". Woman # 2 "This woman maintains a two-story house way out in suburbia. She already owned a vacuumm cleaner. A Hoover upright, as a matter of fact. But she figured it was about time she had a second cleaner and this is it - the Hoover Consteliation. She uses it upstairs for carpets as well as other jobs. She particularly likes the walks-on-air feature, the way it glides after you without tugging". The Man "This homemaker is an apartment-dwelling bachelor. And a finicky one at that. He's the type of guy who likes to have a place for everything and everything in its place. That's why he went for this Hoover Portable Canister, the cleaner that looks and packs like luggage. He likes the way everything fits neatly inside. And the fact that it's so compact it stores in just one square foot of his closet space". |
