I T may be conservatively said that 80 % of 
the trouble experienced by the house 
owner with water closets lies in the faulty 
operation of the tank fittings. Rubber balls 
must be replaced. Fittings work loose, 
water fails to shut off, new washers, etc., are 
some of the troubles. Each time something 
goes wrong means the plumber must be 
called in. This is no source of gratification 
to the plumber because he must charge from 
the time his man leaves the shop until his 
return—and his charges may seem out of 
proportion for the actual repairs made. 
Starting with what is generally recognized 
as the best vitreous china that can be pro¬ 
duced, The Trenton Potteries Company de¬ 
termined to minimize as nearly as possible 
all closet troubles. Since the design of the 
closets themselves assured the utmost sani¬ 
tary value, it remained to perfect the tank 
fittings so that the return calls of the 
plumber would be eliminated. We believe 
this has been accomplished. Exclusive 
Tepeco tank fittings are now a part of 
Tepeco Closet Combinations. 
We have published anew 
booklet telling the differ¬ 
ence between the types of 
closets. We want you to 
send for it % asking at the

What is known as the Syphon Jet Closet is unques¬ 
tionably the most sanitary, quickest operating type 
of closet that can be produced. Because of its com¬ 
plicated construction, it costs more than the simpler 
types known as the Syphon Action and Reverse 
Syphon Action. Recognizing that the best may be 
beyond the means of owners of modest homes, The 
Trenton Potteries Company has placed these Tepeco 
Tank Fittings in each of its leading closets of the 
different types. Each in its class represents the best 
you can buy. If you can afford a Si-wel-clo or 
Welling, by all means, buy it. If you must go down 
the scale a bit, be sure to have the plumber order 
you a Merit or Saxon.

appearance of added size to the room. 
In that same apartment is a little break¬ 
fast room off the pantry with Dutch 
doors below and a curtain above; and 
a delightfully practical handling of the 
telephone and its accessories. The 
shelves for books, the compartment for 
the phone and the shelf to write on are 
all compact and useful. 
Using rope for a banister cord is not 
unusual, although the treatment of the 
stairs in the next illustration is out of 
the ordinary run. In the more common 
application, the rope is looped up the 
wall of the stairs; in this house, a sea¬ 
shore cottage, the stairs are free stand¬ 
ing and a large rope forms the rail 
above painted iron balustrades.
