A year later it was understood that if the Company was to grow, it needed to manufacture a product to sell.1924Advance's first product, a terrazzo grinder, was being demonstrated to contractors throughout the United States.1928Advance first started making floor scrubbers and polishers on a private label basis.1930's1930Advance began making the “new” Lowboy™ floor machines (called Lowboy because it could reach under desks and furniture). By then Advance terrazzo machines were the standard of the industry, and the business was well enough established to survive the Great Depression of the 1930’s.1940's1941Advance put its efforts into helping the American cause in World War II by making parts for B-17 bombsights.1948After the War (in 1948) Advance had twelve people on the payroll.1949The Speedboy Deluxe™ floor machine was introduced.

Factory and headquarter offices remained in Spring Park for almost 30 years.1958The first Convertamatic™ automatic scrubber was introduced. It was called a Convertamatic because it could quickly be converted from an automatic floor scrubber to a dry floor polisher and vacuum. The recovery unit could also be lifted out and used separately. The Convertamatic introduced a patented Power-Flo™ self-propelling drive, the same drive system used to propel many Advance automatic scrubbers today.1960's1963Advance opened a manufacturing operation in Canada.1964The CarpeTwin™ became the first two-motor carpet vacuum on the market.1965The first CarpeTron™ dry foam shampooers went into production.1966International operations began with Advance exporting machines throughout the world.1970's1974The Industrial Division was established.
