Please don't be jealous of my "Puffing Billy"
Back in the good old days, 1901 to be exact, inventor and engineer Hubert Cecil Booth created the first powered vacuum cleaner... the "Puffing Billy". This enormous machine ran on gas and was carried around on a horse-drawn cart. Booth traveled to different towns offering his vacuuming services which included shoving huge tubes through the windows of homes and commercial buildings. Who was their biggest client you ask? Well, it was none other than King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. The happy couple hired the "Puffing Billy" team to clean Westminster Abby for their coronations and were so impressed they bought 2 more devices for Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The next time you think your vacuum is heavy, just be grateful that it doesn't have to be pulled by a horse! What's your vacuums name? I think I'll call mine Herb:)
