Why You Should 
Select Kohler Ware 
The plumbing ware you 
select for your bathroom and 
kitchen will be a permanent 
part of your home. For this 
reason, it is important to con¬ 
sider quality and beauty. 
In choosing Kohler Ware 
you are sure of the highest 
quality, because that quality 
goes into all KOHLER prod¬ 
ucts. 
All bath tubs, lavatories, 
and sinks manufactured by 
Kohler of Kohler are of one- 
piece construction. The hy¬ 
gienic value of this design is 
beyond question, and it is 
furthermore a distinct ad¬ 
vantage in beauty. KOHLER 
enamel is pure white—it 
never changes in hue—lasts 
a lifetime. 
When selecting Kohler 
Ware, look for our perma¬ 
nent trade-mark, the name 
KOHLER in faint blue in 
the enamel. It is our guaran¬ 
tee of quality. 
A copy of our interesting 
book, “Kohler of Kohler”, 
will be mailed on request.

Can’t we help you in 
redecorating your 
home this fall? 
^... I have just inherited all the furniture 
from a high-ceiled, fifteen-roomed Victorian 
house, and I live in a small city apartment! 
Of course / cant use those enormous carved 
black walnut beds, and, as I have no family 
skeleton, I wouldn’t know what to do with 
grandmothers numerous wardrobes — also 
black and of huge proportions. But there are 
a few lovely pieces—a wonderful dining table, 
a cabinet, some odd chairs and tables, bits of 
china, and pictures. Cant you show me how 
to make my apartment over into a background 
for them?” 
O F course the letter didn’t end there. It had 
instructions as to sizes and prices, and snapshots 
of the principal treasures to be housed. We 
looked over our samples, we went to our tele¬ 
phone directory, we visited a shop or two—and then 
we wrote our correspondent and described an apart¬ 
ment that should fit the wonderful old dining table in 
the same inborn way as mittens fitted those long frail 
early Victorian hands that used to be folded so primly 
below the edge of it. 
As for you—you may loathe the Victorian. You may 
crave your colors raw, with a dash of mania. Or you 
mayn’t care whether your chairs are Petit Point or 
painted wicker, provided you can dig in a wild flower 
garden of your own. Whatever your tastes are, they 
occasionally run to questions—and that means us. 
The Information Service covers all the problems that 
aren’t solved in the magazine itself. It is the answer 
to your personal question, the difficulty that is yours 
and yours alone. We have right at our New York 
doors, the best architects, decorators, shops and shop¬ 
pers, gardeners and landscape artists. Their advice is 
at your disposal; your questions addressed to the In¬ 
formation Service will receive their personal attention.

How Many Miles 
s=PER GALLONS; 
DoesYourCarRun? 
Not—How many miles per 
gallon did it run last month or 
a year ago. Hut, how many 
miles per gallon is it running 
now—each day. 
Yesterday you may have got¬ 
ten 17 miles per gallon—to-day 
only ten. Trifling defects in 
ignition, valves, or carburetor 
will make the difference. 
You can guard against these 
defects by keeping a record of 
your gasoline consumed with a 
Masters 
Gasoline Meter 
A Masters Gasoline Meter on 
the cowl of the car shows how 
much gasoline is used to the 
tenth of each gallon. The rec¬ 
ord of fuel consumed tells your 
car’s condition from day to day. 
A radical increase in fuel used 
is a warning to look for poor 
lubrication, faulty carburetor, 
weak ignition, bad valves or 
some other trouble. 
The Masters Meter will en¬ 
courage you to keep your car 
in trim as nothing else can do 
—it will remind you when the 
tank needs filling and will add 
the touch of finish that brings 
your car down to date. 
“Unde Sam needs gasoline— 
Save it” 
You, your garage man or 
chauffeur can install this meter 
in a few minutes. Simply mount 
the meter on the cowl'and run 
a small copper tubing from back 
of meter to connection already 
provided on top of Stewart 
Vacuum Gasoline Tank (just 
under the hood). Each time the 
Stewart tank fills, the vacuum 
operates a little piston in the 
meter. Thus all the gasoline 
that is used is registered right 
before your eyes on the cowl. 
Masters Meters are furnished 
complete with tubing, connec¬ 
tions and instructions for in¬ 
stalling.
