That it gets deep introdden dirt which weak-suction
cleaners do not get; how the capable carpet-sweeper
brush gets all of the surface litter, hair, lint, and threads;
and does it without injury to the rug.
You will realize folly the wide range of uses made
possible by the attachments and know how the strong
motor suction makes them really effective.
The TORRINGTON is light, easy to operate, and the
cost of current is surprisingly low—less than 3c a day
in the average home.
These ar& only a few of the reasons why NEARLY
EVERY TORRINGTON SELLS ANOTHER
We will gladly arrange for a demonstration of a
TORRINGTON in your home. _
