Series - Vacuum Cleaner The first vacuum cleaner was invented by Daniel Hess in 1860.  Early Vacuum cleaners were hand operated and involved the use of bellows.  By the early 1900, gasoline and electric powered Vacuum cleaners began to be developed.

A man's house is his castle - and keeping it clean is a continual chore. Imagine life without the hi-tech cleaning tools available today to ease this task. Before the invention of the vacuum cleaner, rugs had to be removed from the home for thorough cleaning. They were hung over a wall or line and hit repeatedly with a carpet beater to pound out as much dirt as possible. The early nineteenth-century photograph captures a young Chicago boy carrying out this task during cleaning week. Most carpet beaters had wooden or wicker handles with woven cane, wire, willow or metal beating extensions. Other hand-cleaning methods included placing carpet on the snow and walking or jumping over it repeatedly, scattering grated raw potatoes over the carpet and brushing it vigorously with a new broom, or sprinkling water on the carpet before sweeping with a broom. Following the invention of the steam-operated loom, carpets became more affordable and a variety of mechanical cleaning devices began to appear.

In 1860, Iowa resident Daniel Hess produced a machine with rotating brushes that he called a carpet sweeper. In 1869, Ives McGaffey patented the whirlwind - a non-electric "sweeping machine" made out of wood and canvas. In 1901, H. Cecil Booth built a large engine-powered vacuum cleaner that was pulled on a cart through London streets. The operator would drag a 100-foot hose into buildings with carpets in need of cleaning. In 1907, Ohio janitor Murray Spangler created a smaller electric version of Booth's machine using a wooden crate, fan motor, broom handle and pillow case. The next year, William H. Hoover purchased the patent rights for his vacuum. This Model O set the standard for all upright cleaners that followed, and thus the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Company was born. --- from The Library of Congress Stan Kann shows part of his collection of vintage vacuum cleaners at the first meeting of the Vacuum Collectors Association, held in the St. Louis, MO metro on June 14-17, 2007. - Dr. Tom's Vacuum Cleaner Service & Sales  for all your future needs!

Have you heard about the BBQ/Mexican food here? Stack that up against your "Dance Music", and we'll politely ignore the 98 others Goodness, y�all can do better than this! Atxcio I�ll give you the BBQ but not the Mexican (That�s Mexican. Clue is in the word!). Look I�ll even give you a head start;BBQ especially BBQ Brisket!

I knew about some of that but not most. Some things I took for granted that they came out of America first. Well, I didn't know! Speaking of that sprinkling armchair, the poor guy last night in Plano, Texas who died while falling asleep smoking in his living room could have used it. Burger King is English??? Well, I guess that makes sense with the "King" part of it. I have always wanted to visit England. I just LOVE to watch the British shows on our public tv station. England has some gorgeous countryside and I love, love, love the accent!

Did you have a black lab who preoccupied you for hours at the dog park at an apartment complex on Spyglass? If so, please say hello to your former neighbor. 791 posts, read 1,746,738 times Okay, just a few to compare.I do claim to have learned English as a foreign language although it is my native tongue. As a kid, we lived in Lisbon where I attended a pre-school for English speaking children, hosted by the Brits. I haven't been able to think straight since I spoke English to talk to my family but Portuguese for food. 2 You claim the British empire - ever hear of 1814, the Battle of New Orleans 3 You have some nice music claims - Here are some from Texas...
