‘The SHOWER 
is a family affair 
.every member enjoys bathing in 
its sparkling, cleansing sprays 
F ather, mother, the children, and 
even the older folks are invigorated by 
a few minutes under the shower. Those 
scintillating jets do more than cleanse— 
they massage. 
And Speakman. Showers, because of 
the Anyforce Head, do this as gently or 
as vigorously as you desire. 
We have a booklet which will aid you in 
selecting the right type of shower. The 
title is “Once-Used Water.*’ When you 
send for it, if you have a regular plumber, 
please mention his name.
