FIFTY years ago The J. L. Mott Iron Works made 

 the first enameled iron plumbing fixtures in America. 

 Improvements in manufacturing methods and de- 

 sign have been continuous, and today Mott's Enameled 

 Iron fixtures also represent the highest development in 

 the production of this ware. 



Mott's Enameled Iron fixtures are made in a wide variety of designs, 

 and are adapted for small residences, apartment houses, and other 

 buildings where material of good quality at moderate price is desired. 



MODERN PLUMBING— Our Booklet "Modern Plumbing" shows where 

 and how enameled iron fixtures should be used to secure the most satisfactory 

 results. It shows 24 bathrooms equipped with Imperial Solid Porcelain and 

 Enameled Iron fixtures, ranging in cost from ^74 to ^3,000. Sent on request 

 with 4c. to cover postage.
