Banes, of Goodland, is in the city canvassing for the sale of the Domestic Vacuum Sweeper. This is one of the best vacuum cleaners on the market, is easy to operate, cleans a carpet perfectly without stirring up dust in the house, and housecleaning, which is usually such a hard job, can be done with the use of this machine nearly as easy as a house can be swept in the ordinary way. The machine will pay for itself in a short time in the saving of labor and will last a life time with ordinary care. The sweeper should be seen in operation lb be appreciated. James E.
