Paperback. Condition: In quite good condition. First Impression. Folded Instruction Booklet, [23.5cm/9inches], paperound with pictorial covers, pp. 20. Illustrated with b-w halftones. The first upright vacuum was invented in 1908 by a Canton, Ohio department store janitor and occasional inventor named James Murray Spangler. Spangler frequently suffered from asthma attacks, and he suspected the carpet sweeper he was using at work was the cause of his ailment. He created a basic suction-sweeper, first by modifying his existing carpet-sweeper with an electric fan motor, then creating his own prototype from a soap box, electric motor and a broom handle. After modifying the design and being granted a patent,[1] he set about producing the 'Electric Suction Sweeper' himself. He was assisted by his son, who helped him assemble the machines, and his daughter, who assembled the dust bags. Production was slow; he was completing just two to three machines a week.Spangler then gave one of these 'Suction Sweepers' to his cousin, Susan Hoover, who used it at her home. Impressed with the machine, she told her husband and son about it. William Henry "Boss" Hoover (August 18, 1849 - February 25, 1932) and son, Herbert W. Hoover, Sr. (October 30, 1877 - September 16, 1954), were leather-goods manufacturers in North Canton, which at the time was called New Berlin.[2] Hoover's leather goods business was threatened by the introduction of the motor car. Seeing in the Suction Sweeper a marketing opportunity, Hoover bought the patent from Spangler in 1908 and retained Spangler as company superintendent, on royalties in the new business. Spangler continued to contribute to the company, patenting numerous further Suction Sweeper designs, until his death in 1915. His family continued to receive royalties from his original patent until 1925. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs.…
