T he average householder has been 
unable by appearance to distin^ 
guish the difference between 
AlhClay China and Porcelain plumb¬ 
ing fixtures and other plumbing fix¬ 
tures on the market—white in color, 
to be sure, but totally different 
otherwise. 
“Tepeco” Fixtures are true china and porcelain, 
gleaming white, but far more important, sanitary 
beyond any other material from which plumbing 
fixtures can be made. The scientific reason for this 
is because glaze can be fired or baked on clay at 
such a high degree of temperature. Instead of 
merely coating the surface it fuses into the body 
itself, making chipping and peeling an impossibility. 
This high heat also means a close, impenatrably 
hard surface which resists the adhesion of soil. 
“Tepeco” All-Clay Plumbing Fixtures are not 
affected by the action of cleansing preparations, 
medicine, fruit or ordinary acid stains. A dampened 
cloth quickly removes any trace of dirt. 
Particular people consider these facts before buying 
their plumbing fixtures, especially bathtubs, since 
the body comes in contact with the bathtub sur¬ 
face to a greater extent than other plumbing fix¬ 
tures. Aside from the prime factor of sanitation, 
“Tepeco” All-Clay Plumbing Fixtures add the virtue 
of life-long service, an economic consideration not 
to be ignored. 
Because it is hard for people outside the plumbing 
trade to distinguish between All-Clay Plumbing 
Fixtures and other materials, we urge you to insist 
that the “Tepeco” trademark, the Star within the 
Circle, be upon your plumbing fixture purchases.

ing little stools and seats and low tables A particularly pretty settee has ends 
that may be developed by having the which slope out gracefully and which 
outline of a chair or table reduced and do away with regulation arms. Being 
changed in some days. Be careful, sloped gradually, the ends make a fine
