|"^HE importance of 

 the bathroom is 

 illustrated by the fact 

 that a delig-htful mod- 

 ern residence may be a 

 reproduction of one 

 centuries old — except 

 the bathroom. 



^, That must be mod- 

 ern, and, to be thor- 

 oughly satisfactory, the 

 best of its kind. 



^, WolfT equipment in- 

 sures this. No question 

 of the owner's satisfac- 

 tion if Wolff fixtures 

 are installed.

Lime and sand plaster while tolerated is not 

 considered good construction and there is no 

 money saved in using it. So why cling to obsolete 

 materials when it is more economical to use the 

 best modern wall pla.ster ? 



Climax Wood Mortar 



ThisG. R. P. quality brand 

 of plaster is reg-ardod by Un- 

 derwriters as a remarkable 

 firo retarder. It will g-jve you 

 a building- warmer in winter 

 and coolerin summer because 

 of its density. It is so hard 

 md toug-h that rats or vermin 

 cannot penetrate it. It will 

 not, of itself, crack, swell or 

 brink. It will not fall off, 

 ven if wet by leaky roofs or 

 water pipes. It makes the 



finest surface for all kinds of 

 decoration. Used over any 

 pood plaster board it pro- 

 duces a fireproof w;i!I that 

 deadens sourifl—a w;.l! with- 

 out lath stains or other ob- 

 jections—a wail that never 

 needs repairs.
