Select One of These 
Tepeco Water Closets 
T HERE is just as vast a difference between the work¬ 
ing qualities of certain types of water closets as be¬ 
tween high priced motor cars and cheap ones. But each 
serves its purpose and should be bought according to the 
purse of the purchaser. 
The Trenton Potteries Company 
is in a peculiarly favorable posi¬ 
tion to win your confidence 
when you need to buy a water 
closet. Unlike most other 
makers who produce but one 
or two types, the size of our 
plants enables us to economi¬ 
cally manufacture all leading 
types. We do not come to you 
advocating one particular style, 
but impartially offer all, point¬ 
ing out the advantages of each. 
Tepeco water closets offer no 
price advantage. But sanitary 
engineers tell us we are offer¬ 
ing what you cannot be sure of 
getting elsewhere-a combina¬ 
tion of closet construction 
which the measuring tape dem¬ 
onstrates to assure the best 
water closet, a tank of glisten¬ 
ing white china with its surface 
unaffected by stain, acid or soil 
and its tank fittings of the sure 
"stand-up” kind. 
In designing each of these 
water-closet outfits our engi¬ 
neers have endeavored to pro¬ 
duce primarily a better closet. 
Si-wel- clo. Welling, Merit and 
Saxon-each has a bowl size 
fully two inches greater from 
front to back than similar types 
of average manufacture. Each 
has a consequently larger water 
surface meaning less liability 
for soil to adhere to the surface. 
Each has a deep-water seal, the 
guard against sewer gas passing 
up from the soil pipe into the 
room-often a serious menace 
to health. Each closet has a 
larger trapway than usually 
found, which means there is 
that much less likelihood of the 
outlet becoming clogged, and 
the fixtures put out of com¬ 
mission. 
The outside surfaces of these 
Tepeco closets are smooth with¬ 
out the commonly seen dirt- 
catching angles and ledges. 
And because the whole is no 
better than its parts, we have 
perfected a set of tank fittings 
that will save you no end of 
trouble and annoyance. A 
seamless float that cannot leak. 
No rubber balls that will not 
seat properly. A supply fit¬ 
ting that will fill the tank with¬ 
out undue noise and gurgle.

TEPECO TANK FITTINGS 
SEND FOR LITERATURE 
Whether you look in the Silent 
Si-wel-clo or in the Saxon you -will 
find these marvelously constructed 
fittings. And you 
will have a chance 
to forget the days 
when you called the 
plumber or tinkered 
with the fittings 
yourself. 
Truly these things are worth while. 
We do not pretend to tell you what 
you can afford to spend. 
Whatever it is, from these four 
closets you can pick out one 
which you may be sure is 
the best of its kind, 
waut you to write us for 
our booklets on the sub¬ 
ject of water closets and

Plumbing Fixtures.

Construction 
The Duplexalite is easy to install. You can take out an old 
fixture and put up a Duplexalite with hardly any muss at all, 
and it really makes more difference than repapering the walls— 
and most times it costs less.
