Title: 100 year old window cleaner
Post by: Kevin Beanz on March 28, 2013, 08:11:57 pm

Hi,

 I thought that some of you may like to see this 100 year old in April Window cleaners trade journal. It is from my vintage window cleaning collection which totals well over a hundred items including some turn of the last century Chicago squeegees.

it's good. just goes to show not much has changed in 100 years. there is still the problem of moonlighters ( lamplighters as described in the journal) and we are still trying to raise the profile of window cleaning. we don't have the problem of the postmen anymore though ;D more firemen nowadays and benefits cheats.
