It’s a part of American history, a fixture in our households. Now there’s a tribute to that often underrated appliance: the vacuum cleaner. A museum dedicated to the vacuum, in all its many forms, has opened in St. James, Missouri. The museum pays tribute to this modern convenience, complete with rooms dedicated to each decade of the vacuum’s development. There are celebrity vacuum cleaners here too. One was the childhood floor sweeper of actor James Earl Jones. And another was the official vacuum of Air Force One. The Vacuum Cleaner Museum and Factory Outlet are open daily from 9 am to 5 pm with free admission. The museum is located just off Highway 44 at Exit 195. The address is #3 Industrial Drive, St. James, Missouri. For more information, visit www.vacuummuseum.com.

Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Scam

EDIT: it is NOT the 1099 form I describe. Instead it is the W-2 Form. sorry for the mix-up. EDIT 2: On an interesting note, I recieved a message from a “youtuber” by the name of Hallnoats4ever telling me things this person found wrong with my video. Although most I disagree with, I’d like to quote one thing that was said. “I was [trained] to be an Area Distributor and I found out Factory Distributors only pays 0.00 for the machine, now for him to make a profit it has to be sold above 0 or 0.” NOTE: If you are going to say this video is a scam, please give details on the points you believe to be false. Being a Cyber-bullying isn’t cool, and I’m surprised on how many “Franchise Representatives” are so quick to insult in a very unprofessional manner. This is NOT a comedy. This is how, in my opinion, how Kirby Distribution Center’s treats and how they recruit their employee’s. Many of them do not even know what they are getting into. There are also many customer complaints of how Kirby employees treat them once they are in their home giving the demonstration. please read about these instances here: www.consumeraffairs.com you may also read more about the recruitment for salespeople here: www.cockeyed.com and check out someones real-life experience by clicking here: sonyericssonx1.proboards.com I believe that Kirby is a deceptive company, and everyone should be aware of what their franchises are doing to gain employees, and then how they treat them once they have them
