Reader Martin Kalfatovic directed me to the Smithsonian Institution Libraries Galaxy of Images, which is full of weird wonders of yesteryear. I’ve only started poking around in it. I was excited to come across these pages from Hoover: The Story of a Crusade, 1926. Personally, I find the “least fatiguing way” of vacuuming is to ask someone else to do it. Anyone want to do me that favor? If you’re nice, I’ll also let you whitewash my fence.
