Luxury unites with economy, and radiant beauty 

 with healthfulness in ^tandaitf" Porcelain 

 Enameled Baths and One - Piece Lavatories. 



Each piece of "Standard" Ware is the most beautiful — the 

 most economical and satisfactory for whatever purpose it is 

 designed. 



"&ta»<fet>d" Ware adds a distinctive note of good taste to 

 the home — brings the self-gratification of owning the best 

 and the keen satisfaction of lasting service. Its hard, smooth, 

 china-like surface is sanitary perfection, yet underneath is the 

 durability of iron. "^atrdafd" Ware is 

 a modern home necessity — indispensable 

 to the health, comfort and convenience 

 of every family. Its always moderate 

 cost is only true economy when measured 

 by the service test. 



Our book " MODERN BATHROOMS" tells you how to plan, buy and 

 arrange your bathroom and illustrates many beautiful and inexpensive 

 rooms, showing the cost of each fixture in detail, together with many 

 hints on decoration, tiling, etc. It is the most complete and beautiful 

 booklet on the subject and contains 100 pages. 



CAUTION: Every piece of "Strxvdtttd" Ware bears our "Standard" 

 " Green and Gold " guarantee label, and has our trade-mark "Standard" 

 cast on the outiide. Unless the label and trade-mark are on the fixture it 

 is not "£tattdiird Ware. Refuse substitutes — they are all inferior and 

 will cost you more in the end. The word "Standard" is stamped on all of 

 our nickeled fittings; specify them and see that you get the genuine with your 

 bath and lavatory, etc.
