Dear Keith,
Thank you very much for selling the filter for me. I received the check last week. You went out of your way for me, and I am very grateful. I thought your most outstanding personality trait was simply a quirky sense of humor, but now I see that generosity & honesty are really your strong points.

Whenever I need something that you carry in your store, I’ll be sure to stop in.

Thanks again,
Bill

Dear Mr. Petersen, You may recall that you sold me a Model XL-15 Living Air cleaner last spring when I came in to inquire about an air filter or de-humidifier for my brother’s home near the Jersey shore. I told you about the extremely foul musty smell in his house, and even the same unpleasant odor in his clothes. I also mentioned the difficulty he was having with his health, inclduing some serious difficulty breathing, causing a few emergency trips to the hospital. I had not intention of purchasing the XL-15 unit initially, because a neighbor had told me how successful his daughter had been in solving a similar prolblem with a de-humidifier. But you were so sure that htis unit would be a “God-send” that I decided to purchase it. But I never thought hat it would work out like it has. Within a few months, the miserable odor in that house was gone. We were astonished that even the odor in his clothes had disappeared. We placed the unit on a special shelf high in his living room and have left it on 24 hours per days, except in the summer when the windows are open. Even the odor in the basement, which was the most offensive and oppressive of all, has gone. But most important of all, his health has improved considerably, especially his breathing. For a long time, he was seriously thinking his life was ending because of these problems. Now he decided to modernize the place with new vinly windows throughout the house.
Sincerely, R. Purdy

Dear Mr. Petersen, I have been wanting to write this letter for some time now, but it seemed I was either raising kids, working or didn’t have access to a PC in order to find out who it was that made Filter Queen an integral part of my life growing up. It all began in Texas, it was either ’66 or ’67…I came home from a friends house and noticed that our living room was full. I have seven brothers and sisters (most of them were present), my mom and a really nice man were working with what I soon learned was a new type of vacuum. This was no ordinary vacuum by any means; it could do all sorts of things. The man massaged my brothers’ head with one attachment, made suds to clean furniture and such with another…well, I’m sure you know the list. My four sisters and I were already planning on drying our hair, if, mom bought it. The Filter Queen was amazing; it had several interchangeable heads for different floor surfaces. We all knew that we could not live without this vacuum. This is where my story gets interesting…the eight of us kids ranged in age from 1 to 13, my mother was (of course) a stay at home mom and my dad worked as a salesman making $10,000 a year in sales. He came home right after my mom bought the Filter Queen from the nice man. My father was livid but after one day I realized who really was the best salesman in the house and it wasn’t my dad. My mom convinced Dad that with all the kids she had and all the things she had to do, she needed that vauum; and he agreed. My father loves my mother very much, 54 years together as of this March. My dad loved that vacuum…he taught us all how to really do a good job vacuuming by using the Filter Queen. Over the years we moved several times and the Filter Queen was always the first item to enter the house and the last item to leave. We eventually moved to Arizona and lived pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Dust was always getting in the house and there was no way to prevent it. As we grew up our houses got bigger and bigger with several types of floor covering and the Filter Queen was always ready for the job. Every time one of my brothers or sisters moved out they always borrowed the Filter Queen, once again it being the first thing in and last thing out. My older sister and her husband installed tile throughout their entire house (by themselves) what a mess it was, they had to keep the Filter Queen at their house for almost two weeks but it did the job with no complaints.

Dear Keith, I just wanted to drop you a line about our recent purchase of a Alpine Air Purifier from your shop. The air purifier does a wonderful job cleansing the air in our showroom and in rug cleaning plant. It actually breaks down odors in oriental rugs that are caused by animals. The air quality just seems so much healthier. I will gladly recommend your company to my customers if they are ever in the market for a vacuum or air purifier.
