The Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner was popular in the 1930’s. It consisted of a cylindrical tank on runners that contained a “power plant” and a bag that collected dirt. The tank was pulled along by the suction hose that had a chrome plated steel wand with a rug attachment. There was also a upholstery tool, a narrow space tool and a dusting brush.
