She paid about that same amount year and years ago. She always felt sorry for door to door salesmen, and they were still around then. Dad never let her hear the end of it, but it’s still a damn good vacuum. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to get the carpet sweeper part fixed.

I’ll look into it.
