Buying Your Plumbing on the 
Installment Plan ? 
Many people buy plumbing on the installment plan 
and never know it. The life of inferior plumbing 
material is actually determined before the plumber’s 
truck, brings it to your house. Such fixtures will last 
just so long, and then shame of their appearance and 
realization of their sanitary uselessness force you to 
replace them. Then comes the second payment^— 
the same price for the fixture, the same bill for 
plumber’s services. You come to realize how much 
better off you would have been to have originally 
insisted upon 
THE 
TRENTON POTTERIES COMPANY 
"TEPECO” All-Clay Plumbing 
It is most sanitary, beautiful, practical and permanent. Perma¬ 
nency is not denoted by a white surface, but by what material 
is beneath that surface. With time, inferior materials will lose 
their sanitary value, dirt will adhere, the appearance become 
uninviting—the piece lose its usefulness. 
"TEPECO” Plumbing is china or porcelain, solid and substan¬ 
tial. Dirt does not readily cling to its glistening white surface, 
nor will that surface be worn away by scouring. A wise invest¬ 
ment—beautiful one.
