    Thrift Shop find, Hoover 29

    Woah! Bobby, PLEASE do post a picture of this cleaner, either on here or on Vacuumland - I'm just crazy about the very earliest Hoovers - 1908-1922! If you can show me which one it is, I'll try and tell you some more about it :)

    Well, I won't be parting with my ads any time soon, and I'm not planning on lingering, either ;)

    Appliance a**holes

    We might like to think this attitude is a symptom of today's disposable, 'forget-the-past' society, but it's nothing new. I just received a 1937 vacuum cleaner repair guide. Aside from a list of the various brands and models of the era, and the procedures for their repair and maintenance, it has...

    Preserving Vintage Ads

    dishwashercrazy - No problem, I hope you found the photos helpful! I'm not saying this is the only way of solving your problem, but it is one way, and I'm confident enough of the outcome to use it myself regularly (putting my ads where my mouth is? lol). mielabor - I understand what you mean...

    Preserving Vintage Ads

    I keep the laminated ads in a folder of clear pockets like this - obviously you could also frame them, pin them to a wall, etc. They will be waterproof, tear-proof and fingerprint-proof, but I'd imagine they'd still be vulnerable to fading from light, if displayed on a wall for an extended time.

    Preserving Vintage Ads

    The finished article! You may find you can get rid of small wrinkles, imperfections etc. by feeding it through the machine a second time.

    Preserving Vintage Ads

    Lamination in process! Points to remember: 1) Make sure you feed it into the machine totally straight. If it goes in crooked, it's ruined! Use the laminator on a flat, clear surface (unlike I did for these pictures!!) 2) Nothing must block the laminated ad's exit from the machine.

    Preserving Vintage Ads

    In the pouch, ready to be laminated. A few things to remember: 1) Make sure you have the ad positioned exactly where you want it - there's no going back once it's in the machine! 2) The pouch must be totally free of wrinkles, and totally flat. Air-bubbles, ripples etc. will appear otherwise...

    Preserving Vintage Ads

    Laminating... With vintage ads, I always scan them at a very high resolution, so I have a 'digital copy' saved on the computer. Then I laminate them - the laminator cost me £9.99, the pouches about £6.99. This process keeps them protected from damage, tears, spills etc. I'm not sure about...

    U.K. bars entry to anti-gay American preacher

    '...Phelps is not dangerous. He is offensive, annoying and in everyone's face, but he is actually quite harmless.' Before making a statement like that, I'd ask the friends families of some of the innocent people who's funerals he's picketed whether they consider him "harmless". I'd ask the many...

    U.K. bars entry to anti-gay American preacher

    One more thought; if the government were really eroding the Phelps' freedom of speech, they would have blocked UK access to their infamous website, which they haven't. Their message can still be accessed, they're just not here to shriek it at us in person.
