A BUSINESS ROMANCE To have sold 1,600 Vacuum Cleaners in four months is something in the way of a business romance. That is what Hay’s Limited have done. We realised that there was a demand for a really good Vacuum Cleaner to be sold at a price round about £5. We told a leading British manufacturer that we were prepared to pioneei a campaign to sell such a machine. We said we would do our best to sell 500 machines a year. The manufacturers were interested, and produced for us a sample of a first-rate machine, which we subjected to the most rigorous tests. Cleaners sold at a Rockbottom Price The manufacturers were prepared to supply the machine in big quantities at a rockbottom price. By getting the machines direct, the profits of the middlemen were obviated. We in turn were satisfied with a reasonable profit. We decided to sell for cash, thus cutting out heavy time payment charges. We then set to work to sell the machine throughout New Zealand. The public response was immediate and cordial. Throughout New Zealand to-day, hundreds of women are singing the praises of Hay’s wonderful £5 Vacuum Cleaner. It will pay you to make enquiry about this machine.
