^ Because of the great importance of the Bath Room, the Kitchen 

 and Laundry, the selection of the fixtures for these rooms should 

 receive the most careful attention. 



^ A thorough investigation will convince Architect as well as owner 

 that Wolff Plumbing Fixtures give entire satisfaction in quality, 

 design and workmanship; this has been our aim for over 55 years.

Ordinary plaster made of lime and sand 

 is a constant source of expense for repairs and 

 the wall is never safe to decorate. 



If you would practice true economy have 

 your walls and ceilings plastered with 



Climax Wood Mortar 



—Then your walls will be 

 permanen t— they will 

 never need repairs — your 

 house will be warmer in 

 winter and cooler in sura- 

 rnei — .you can decorate 

 without fearof thedi'cora- 

 tion being damaged by 



pops, cracks or cnimhles. 

 Use this (i. K. P. quality 

 brand of plaster over any 

 Kood plaster board and 

 you will have a sound, as 

 well as a fireproof wall 

 without lath stains or 

 other objections.
