The Solution of 
Perfect Sanitation 
is exemplified in the 
SY-CLO Closet, the 
construction and action 
of which ends at once 
all the subtle dangers of 
disease arising from im- 
proper cleansing; the 
escape of sewer gas’; the 
absorption of poison by 
the material of which 
common closets are made 
(iron for instance); and 
the gradual discoloration of those interior 
parts which furnish a prolific breeding- 
ground for millions of death-dealing bacilli. 
The action of the SY-CLO is two-fold. 
Besides the copious flush of water, there 
is an irresistible syphonic action, which, 
like a powerful pump, literally pulls the 
contents through the outlet channel, cleans- 
ing, scouring, polishing as it goes, leaving 
the INSIDE of the pipe as clean and 
smooth as a china bowl. And this is 
a truism because the SY-CLO is solidly 
constructed of china—pure white china— 
without joint or break or rough place 
inside or out to furnish lodgment for dirt 
or disease germs.

Hugh M, G. Garden, Architect, Chicago 
Examine your closet; if it is made of 
enameled iron or has just an ordinary flush, 
discard it at the first opportunity for a 
SY-CLO. Your doctor pays the bill. If 
you are building a house or buying one, 
insist on SY-CLO Closets with the trade 
mark name burned in the china. ‘The 
fact that 
“7 
TRADE MARK 
Closets cost but little more than other 
closets—that, with ordinary care, they will 
last as long as the house in which they are 
installed, leaves no further excuse for sewer 
sickness. Ask the plumber. A book on

Lavatories of every size and design 
made of the same material, and on the 
same principle, as the SY-CLO.
