Rave customer reviews have been coming in on social media for John Kuder's new store, House of Vacuums, at 305 West State Street in downtown Kennett. He sells new vacuums and parts and also repairs vacuums and sewing machines.
To grab the attention of passersby, he built an oversized "Mega-Vac" and displays it in the parking lot. Every time I drive by it reminds me of Graham Greene's novel "Our Man in Havana," where a reluctant spy -- a vacuum cleaner salesman who accepted the side job just so he could pay for his daughter's horse -- submits to his superiors what he claims are top-secret plans for military installations but are actually just greatly enlarged drawings of vacuum cleaner parts.
