These quilts, called both biscuit and puff quilts are made with individually stuffed squares sewn together to make up the whole quilt. So if you are sleeping under one you are sleeping under dozens of squarish puff-balls.
The first Kirby vacuums were designed by Jim Kirby (1885-1971) for George Scott and Carl Fetzer after World War I, although the Kirby name was not used on a vacuum cleaner until the 1930s.he Kirby Company generally produces only one model at a time. Kirby's vacuums made until 1919 were made by Frantz Premier. Those made from 1919 to 1934 are branded and made by The Scott & Fetzer Company. After 1934 all machines have been made by Scott & Fetzer, though branded as Kirby.
The first electric vacuum cleaner was invented by Hubert Cecil Booth in 1901. The vacuum was so large that it was kept permanently in a cart drawn by a horse. If you wanted your house vacuumed, the vacuum cleaner was pulled in front of your house with a 100-foot hose that could reach into the house.acuum History: In the beginning: The first trace of the vacuum was a patent by Daniel Hess on July 10, 1860. Instead of a vacuum cleaner, Hess called it a carpet sweeper. His plan included a system that would capture dust and dirt in two water chambers.
