Fuller Brush Head Reports O 1 Housework
In New York American inventor and Fuller Brush chairman A C Fuller discusses changing methods of housecleaning. He recalls starting with 50 dollars for stock and 15 for a self made machine, now overseeing 7000 dealers and selling brushes worldwide including igloo brushes to Eskimos. He notes the shift from lamp chimneys to hairbrushes as top seller and estimates households need 2 to 3 dozen brushes. Housecleaning, he says, is the world’s biggest business and will remain so.
