| Fonctions : | The General Electric Floor Polisher was a advertised as a tool used for cleaning floors. Various ads note the ease of use of this product as it came with various pads for applying soap to the floor and as well as polishing surfaces. The Harris family had wood floors throughout their home and used carpet rugs to cover certain areas in different rooms. The floors on the main level were redone in 1935 right before Barbara Sayers had a birthday party at the Benares house to celebrate her Sweet Sixteen. |
