No parrot on this wall. The R has the right shape however. The mascot probably went away together with the caption. | Two Radiola layers on top of Evian
The shape of the R is different from the previous pictures and probably never featured a parrot-head. |

James Spangler, a tinkerer reduced to
cleaning floors at department stores, made
the first electric suction carpetcleaner
and patented it in 1908.
One of his first contraptions was sold to his cousin married with William Hoover then a saddlemaker. Hoover was very well aware that his saddle-business couldn't last forever and soon purchased the rights to manufacture the suction sweeper. Sales became a success after Hoover recruited door-to-door salesmen giving demonstrations in homes throughout the U.S. |
