The “Velasco” is moderate in price 
as well as in size. It is attractive 
and one of those il- 
the Mott Bathroom 
estion 
O F course, your bathroom will be sanitary 
•—why not? In these days important 
sanitary features are largely taken for granted. 
But—and here is our suggestion —Go into the 
details a bit yourself. 
For instance, all toilets look more or less alike, 
but our “Silentum” shown in the picture is 
extremely quiet in operation and has a large 
bowl and water area and other features which 
make it letter. 
The lavatory—There are many more expensive 
than the “Velasco” but there is nothing more 
durable or beautiful in finish. Be assured it 
is worth knowing about. 
And the bath—Though comparatively inex¬ 
pensive, there is nothing better made for the 
purpose than our light weight solid porcelain. 
The “Pomona” is designed for a recess, and 
what an admirable shower compartment it 
makes where space is limited.

Period Designs in Musical Instruments 
(Continued from page 82) 
The phonograph is an American prod¬ 
uct which took its first form as a mat¬ 
ter of convenience and utility. When 
the horn first put its head under cover, 
some wealthy home-owners, unwilling 
to have a cabinet which even then 
was out of keeping with the rest of 
their furniture, had special custom- 
made “bodies” built. These cases, some 
of which cost thousands of dollars, gave 
a prestige to the rest. Clever business 
men, seizing upon this interest and 
sensing the vast new growth of knowl¬ 
edge concerning furniture, began to de¬ 
velop authentic designs. A by-product 
of the organized effort in this direction 
has been the development among the 
lay public of a desire to understand 
more of the meaning of period furni¬ 
ture. A beautiful William and Mary 
phonograph, perhaps, was the fore¬ 
runner of some William and Mary 
chairs; perhaps was responsible for the 
purchase of a complete suite of Wil¬ 
liam and Mary drawing room furniture! 
This discussion is addressed primarily 
to those who are planning the en¬ 
largement of their home music inter¬ 
ests. There are all kinds of musicians, 
and all kinds of instruments; but both 
gain by having the proper setting, the 
proper atmosphere. Decidedly it is 
a beneficial and heartening influence to 
bring into the period room a perfect 
example of a musical instrument case 
in that same period.
