-CVCO" BEAMNG ' Bissell . J Carpet • | Sweeper Outlasts 50 Brooms" The modern "Cyeo" Bearing Bissell Sweeper has robbed sweeping day of its terror, has done more to preserve woman's good headth and temper, to say nothing of the preservation of her carpets, furniture, draperies, etc., than all other agencies combined. It will not only jplean, but brighten your earpets as welk making them look like new, and this too, without raising dust. 3a BisseU's "Cyeo" Bearing Sweeper lessens the work of sweeping four-fifth, besides making the task a pleasure instead of a drudgery. The Bissell has none of the troiihlcnme features found in other makes, requires no oiling, no adjusting for sweeping the different grades of earperti, and runs so easily that a touch wgl almost set it in motion. , We have a full assortment of the latest and finest patterns of Bisartl's "Cyeo Bearing Sweepers in all of the leading woods, sixes and styles, at prices ranging from $2.75 to $4-00.
