c^taitaaipd Porcelain Enameled Ware 

 in the modern home adds the final touch 

 of perfection to the domestic appoint- 

 ments, and its absolute sanitation affords 

 a constant safeguard of family health for 

 many years to come. 



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 fix- 

 ture 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). 



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

 "QREEN and QOLD" guarantee label, and has 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 will cost you 

 more in the end. The word "Standard' is stamped on all our nicfcled brass fit- 

 tings ; specify them and see that you get the genuine trimmings with your bath 

 and lavatory, etc.
