  What 
  to 
  Demand 
  in 
  a 
  

   Closet 
  

  

  Absolute 
  cleanliness 
  

   assured 
  by 
  mater 
  ca- 
  , 
  

   parity 
  and 
  width 
  of 
  

   mater 
  surface 
  in 
  bowl. 
  

  

  Water 
  jet 
  at 
  bottom 
  

   of 
  bom 
  I, 
  mhich 
  cleanses 
  

   inside 
  of 
  trap 
  and 
  in- 
  

   sures 
  boml 
  being 
  abs 
  

   lutely 
  mashed 
  out. 
  

  

  Water 
  seal 
  of 
  unusual 
  

   depth, 
  making 
  escape 
  

   of 
  sewer 
  gas 
  impos- 
  

   sible. 
  

  

  Vacuum 
  chamber 
  into 
  

   mhich 
  entire 
  contents 
  

   ** 
  of 
  boml 
  are 
  drawn 
  by 
  

   syphonic 
  action. 
  

  

  To 
  know 
  what 
  a 
  closet 
  should 
  be 
  to 
  be 
  

  

  safe, 
  study 
  the 
  sectional 
  view 
  showing 
  the 
  

  

  principle 
  and 
  action 
  of 
  the 
  Sy-Clo 
  Closet. 
  If 
  your 
  closet 
  

  

  is 
  not 
  self-cleaning, 
  odorless, 
  positive 
  in 
  its 
  action 
  when 
  flushed, 
  replace 
  

  

  it 
  with 
  the 
  Sy-Clo 
  Closet, 
  — 
  "the 
  closet 
  of 
  health." 
  

  

  The 
  Sy-Clo 
  Closet 
  overcomes 
  the 
  offensive 
  and 
  dangerous 
  faults 
  of 
  the 
  common 
  closet 
  of 
  

   the 
  wash 
  out 
  variety 
  by 
  its 
  syphonic 
  action. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  a 
  copious 
  flush 
  of 
  water 
  from 
  above, 
  

   a 
  powerful 
  jet 
  of 
  water 
  enters 
  at 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  the 
  bowl. 
  This 
  starts 
  the 
  flow 
  of 
  water 
  over 
  the 
  

   retaining 
  rim 
  into 
  the 
  soil 
  pipe, 
  where 
  a 
  vacuum, 
  or 
  suction 
  is 
  formed, 
  into 
  which 
  the 
  entire 
  contents 
  

   of 
  the 
  bowl 
  are 
  drawn. 
  If 
  your 
  closet 
  merely 
  empties 
  without 
  thoroughly 
  washing 
  the 
  bowl, 
  

   replace 
  it 
  with 
  the 
  

  

  The 
  Sy-Clo 
  Closet 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  illustration 
  of 
  the 
  sectional 
  view, 
  is 
  formed 
  in 
  a 
  single 
  

   piece 
  — 
  fine 
  hand 
  moulded 
  china 
  — 
  without 
  a 
  crack 
  or 
  crevice 
  where 
  impurity 
  can 
  lodge. 
  Un- 
  

   affected 
  by 
  water, 
  acid 
  or 
  wear. 
  No 
  enamel 
  to 
  chip 
  or 
  crack. 
  If 
  your 
  closet 
  is 
  different 
  in 
  any 
  

   respect, 
  it 
  is 
  unsafe. 
  Replace 
  it 
  with 
  the 
  Sy-Clo. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  "Sy-Clo" 
  on 
  a 
  closet 
  guarantees 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  made 
  under 
  the 
  direction 
  and 
  super-

  of

   tectural 
  effect 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  expensive

   work 
  can 
  be 
  secured, 
  and 
  yet 
  the

   in

  The 
  making 
  

   of

  merely 
  consists 
  

   of 
  mixing
