Vintage Gallery #8 The Victorian Carpet Sweeper Advertisement


Never Sweep Carpets with a Broom.

Its strong bristles wear off the nap and throw up dust.

How different with the 'EWBANK' Carpet Sweeper (British Manufacture).

Like gentle rain, it penetrates without damage - the broom, like the raging flood, ravages the surface only. The "Ewbank" is quiet - easily worked to and fro - collects all dust - carpets always look fresh.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Hand made Brush - lasts 10 years. Few working parts are outside case.

SWEEPERS from 11/6 to 15/6

Refuse any sweeper offered in pace of the "Ewbank"

From all dealers, or write

ACCRINGTON
who will send nearest dealer's name.

Note the "Ewbank."
