WILHELM MILLER, Editor.— Copyright, 1907, by DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY 

 Entered as second-class matter January 12, 1905, at the post-office at New York, N. Y., under the act of Congress, March 3, 1879. 



A Pure White 2$tai»<fctt'd'' Bath- 



room is the pride of the house-owner 

 and the safeguard of domestic health. 

 Its moderate cost and life-long durability 

 make "gtaudiwd" Ware the most economical fix- 

 tures to instal, whether in a modest or a lux- 

 urious home. 



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

 and arrange your bathroom, and illustrates many beautiful and inexpen- 

 sive 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 com- 

 plete 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). 



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

 and GOLD" guarantee label, and hits our trade-mark "Standard" cast on the 

 outside. Unless the label and trade-mark are on the fixture it is not 

 "Standard" Ware. Refuse substitutes — they are all inferior and c witl cost 

 you more in the end. The -word "Standard^ is stamped on alt our ntckled 

 brass fittings ; specify them and see that you get the genuine trimmings 

 <with your bath and lavatory, etc.
