Sanitation receives much attention,
and painStaking efforts are devoted to
all their work. The accompanying cut
represents the patent soil pipe spoken
of, which is very highly regarded by the
trade and all who use it. The pipe is
so formed with recesses and grooves as
to prevent splitting while cutting; the
triple Wedge-shaped joint is so formed
that there are three joints made into
one without the use of any more ma
terlal, thereby making a perfect joint
against leakage, expansion, contraction
or settling. 1t has repeatedly been
tested at 500 pounds pressure without
any leak whatever, while pipe now in
use leaks at five pounds pressure and
runs stream at ten. The many adj
vantages of this pipe are gaining for it
an excellent name and extensive use.
