Save Money-Own a Hoover
m
I
w
Money that a Hoover would save for you,
little sums paid out week by week through the
year, soon mount up and exceed the price of
a Hoover.
There are the bills for cleaning your carpets,
the wages of the. woman who comes to sweep
and dust, the expense of laundering draper
ies darkened by swept-up clouds of dust, the
cost of new brooms, etc.
But your biggest expense is the cost of new rugs to replace wom-out ones. Unless rugs are regu
larly beaten by The Hoover, the grit embeds itself in them. . Under shoe pressure the de
structive embedded grit gradually cuts the nap away. The Hoover prevents such wear. Many
times ovej it pays for itself in this way alone. , . - '

IT BEATS,,.

DMded Paymento
Permit us to call and leave a Hoover without obligation to purchase. Convince
yourself of all we say. If you decide to keep it, you can have ten months in which
to pay, if desired. Call at our store, write, or phone Douglas 2020, Hoover Dept.
