Vacuum Cleaner
Made by Electrolux Corporation

In-depth cleaning of the home was reserved for the times Sandburg was traveling. He preferred a quiet environment when he was home, which left little time for a vacuum cleaner to run. But when he was away, the vacuum cleaner would roar, rugs would come up, floors would be waxed, and the grandchildren would go yelling down hallways where doors generally were closed and quiet was preserved.
