Your bathroom equipped with 

 3>ta«dard" Porcelain Enameled Ware 



is an absolute guarantee of perfect sanitation in the 

 home. Wherever Standard" Ware is installed 

 rgienic conditions and immaculate cleanliness follow. 

 Its one-piece construction, without joints or crevices, in- 

 sures immunity from the accumulation of impurities. Its snow- 

 white surface prevents the adhesion of dust and dirt. Its iron 

 strength and china smoothness are an assurance of life- 

 long service and make it the most economical ware to install. 



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

 your bathroom, and illustrates many beautiful and inexpensive as well as 

 luxurious 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 

 ever issued on the subject, and contains 100 pages. FREE for six cents postage 

 and the name of your plumber and architect (if selected). 



These FIXTURES, Design No. P-25, can be purchased from any plumber 

 at a cost approximating $175.00 — not counting freight, labor or piping — and are 

 described in detail among the others. 



CAUTION: Every piece of "Standard" Ware bears cWStandard" " GREEN and GOLD" 

 guarantee label, and b as our trade-mark "Standard" cast on the outside. Unless the 

 label and trade-mark are on the fixture it is not "Standard" Ware. Refuse substi- 

 tutes — they are all inferior and ^t>ill cost you more in the end. The <word "Standard" 

 is stamped on all our nickeled brass fittings ; specify them and see that you get the 

 genuine trimmings •with your bath and lavatory, etc.
