Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

After reading some posts on another forum about the booklet "The Kirby Story," I came across the following that I thought might be of interest to some of us who post here:

Hello Jim Kirby:

That is one terrific Web Site.  I never saw as good a chronology of the significant facts and events leading to the evolution of the vacuum cleaner in the USA as the one provided on the Web Site.

I plan to print it off in its entirety and read/enjoy at my leisure.  The names and events bring back wonderful personal and professional memories.

I'll share the information with my old and new friends in the business.  I'll tell them about your family connection with the Mr. Jim Kirby listed as one of the industry's founding inventors.

Thanks for posting and sharing.
