I’m pretty sure I have a couple of these in my garage. I’ll look tomorrow and take some pics. When my local vac shop owner retired ( very good friend ) I helped clean out and sort machines and parts to keep. I’ve got a garage full of Kirby parts and misc other machines/ parts among some older machines.

If you read that ad copy in the manner of an old-time TV pitchman it might make more sense.

Or, people didn't read any more carefully a hundred years ago.

I prefer Tire fluff...

    -Mud-Phobic Bars: Created to release compacted mud for enhanced traction in muddy and soft soil conditions.
    -Linear Flex Zones: Built to allow the tire to flex and envelop objects in aired-down situations.

Balm Boyette and Alafia are our local favorites. 50 years ago phosphate miners could walk away and abandon their spent mines. Today they have to restore the land as if they were never there. But fortunately for us flat-landers, some of the old abandoned mining land has been converted into some very nice MTB trails. Some of the topography is like moon craters.
