HERE. are as many conditions and degrees of responsibility entering into 
the guaranteeing of plumbing fixtures as there are firms issuing guarantee 
labels. Architects have realized the importance of these features for a 
long time, but it is only of late years that the layman has been interested. 
The Guarantee Tubs cost only a trifle more than the cheap inferior article 
on the market. The cost of installation, that is, labor and material, required 
incidental to installing a bathtub, is the same for a cheap tub as it would be 
for a “Corona” fully guaranteed tub. 
With the knowledge that many tenants and investors often base their judg- 
ment of the construction of the building on the class of plumbing fixtures that 
have been used, wise architects advise the use of Wolff Plumbing Material 
exclusively, even in purely speculative operations.

The ‘House Beautiful 
is much more beautiful when stained with the 
soft, harmonious tones of 
Cabot’s Shingle Stains 
Their colors have the same depth and richness 
that is foundin nature, and houses stained with 
them melt harmoniously into the landscape. They 
cost 50 per cent. less than paint, wear as long and 
grow old gracefully—no cracking and peeling like 
paint—and being made of Creosote they preserve 
the wood.

_ the greatest dan- 
ger that menaces 
your factory 
You can insure your factory against 
fire loss, but that does not prevent fires 
or protect you in consequent losses. 
The safe, sensible thing is tohavea 
factory that is in itself a protection 
against fire—a factory of reinforced 
concrete. 
Reinforced concrete is fireproof— 
not “slow-burning” or near fire-proof, 
but unbumable. Actual fires prove it. 
Such a factory will stand off fre from 
surrounding buildings; prevent the 
spread of an inside fire or damage by 
water, and secure the lowest rate of 
insurance given to buildings. 
If you are interested in a factory, or 
consider building, send for and read 
our book: 
“Reinforced Concrete in 
Factory Construction” 
It isn’t a book about ourselves or 
our product; it is a work by an expert 
engineer on factories, warehouses and 
shops built of concrete, with illustrations 
and detailed descriptions. Our inter- 
est in your factory lies in the fact that 
we make the brand of cement that you 
will unquestionably use if you investi- 
gate the various brands of Portland 
Cement and learn (as you will) that 
PORTLAND 
CEMENT 
is the standard in cements—the brand 
that is always pure ard always uniform; 
the brand the Government bought to 
the extent of 4,500,000 barrels, for 
use in building the Panama Canal. 
The book will be sent on receipt of 
10 cents to pay delivery charges. 
Other books: 
“Concrete Country Residences” 
(delivery charges 25c.) 
“Concrete Cottages” (sent free.) 
“Concrete Construction about the 
Home and on the Farm” (sent free.)
