I remember my parents buying a twin tub washing machine from a firm called Rolls Razor in the very early 60's. It was �39 and with it came a free cylinder vacuum cleaner which my Dad kept and used in his garage for years and years.
John Bloom was the guy. Sported a goaty beard if I remember rightly.
