The Hoover Company story began in 1907 when Murray Spangler, an inventor who worked nights as a janitor, was cleaning rugs in a Canton, Ohio, department store. The dust raised from his broom aggravated his asthma, and he called upon his inventor's creativity to find a solution to the problem. He gathered a tin soap box, a fan, a sateen pillow case and a broom handle, then assembled an odd-looking, cumbersome contraption that managed to pull the dust away from the air he breathed. He quickly realized that this "suction sweeper," as he called it, had enormous sales potential, and he began seeking financial backing.

A family friend, Susan Hoover, tried out the new the machine in her home and before long, she was singing its praises to her husband, W.H. "Boss" Hoover, owner of a leather goods manufacturing shop. Hoover bought the patent from Spangler in 1908, retained him as a partner, and soon had six employees assembling six units a day in a corner of the leather goods shop. The rest is history, and Hoover to this day remains the industry leader in floor cleaning appliances for home use.
