Don’t insult Kirby salesmen. My husband used to sell Kirbys.

Dammit, I love those big chrome Kirbys. If anyone wants to talk about heavy duty, they need to look at Kirby. When price is no object, Kirby is king.
A guy in my HS class sold Kirbys and developed a sales force in the western states that sold hundreds every year. Whenever I think about hard work selling a high priced article, I think of Kirby.
