The Hoover® story begins in 1907 with Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked as a janitor. Spangler had an asthma problem from sweeping up dust all night. To remedy this issue, he gathered a tin soapbox, a fan, a sateen pillow case and a broom handle, and assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this "suction sweeper," as he called it, had enormous sales potential.
A few short months later, "Boss" Hoover, bought the patent from Spangler, retaining him as a partner, and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop. "Boss" placed a small ad in the Saturday Evening Post offering 10 days of free use of a Hoover suction sweeper to anyone who wrote in and requested it. He then chose a reputable store in each major city across the where customers could purchase the machine, allowing store managers to keep any commission from a resulting sale thus laying the groundwork for a national dealer network to form.
