FIFTY FOUR YEARS OF QUALITY 
_ WOLFF'S PLUMBING GOODS

fl 
“Guaranteed” 
Architects are cautioned that there are many guarantee 
labels being used on porcelain enameled iron plumbing 
fixtures, and that in accepting a guaranteed tub, it will | 
be the part of caution to identify the firm issuing the guar- 
antee label as to financial responsibility and record of | 
having made good, in a broad way, all that a guarantee 
label both states and implies. 
The WOLFF GUARANTEE is fifty-three years old, 
and during that time has made a reputation for itself unique 
in the relation of a manufacturer to his product. 
The cost of tearing out and replacing imperfect plumb- 
ing fixtures is so great that a guarantee label must have 
a broader meaning on plumbing equipment than on any 
other branch of building equipment. The guarantee 
label that is not backed by reputation and undoubted 
i financial responsibility is indeed an empty statement. !
