 this Quaint Old Colonial Home 



THIS picturesque old Dutch house of 

 red sandstone at Rochelle Park, New

 the contrast between Colonial and Twen- 

 tieth Century modes of living was the 

 installation of a Deming Home Water 

 System with the resulting comforts and 

 sanitary convenience of ample hot and 

 cold water at the turn of the faucet.
