PLUMBING DEPARTMENT
Letter TO the Pablo:

When you need plumbing work there are two
methods to pursue
FIRST-You may buy your hxures and give your
work out considering only the lowest price ~irrespec-
tive of quality. When you do this, we shall appreci-
ate your giving the order to the "other fellow" as
we handle only goods of first class quality.
~SECOND-You may have your plumbing and
water-works designed as a whole and installed &C
cording to engineering and sanitary rules, using only
first class material made by reliable manufacturers.
In this case, it will be to your interest to get our
prices, as no competitor has been able to meet them.
Do not attempt to order your own fixtures and
supplies unless you are an expert and can fill the
sanitary requirements. While our public character
makes it incumbent on us to install anything you
order; still, we much prefer not to do your work if
your plumbing supplies will not allow the proper
sanitary arrangements. U~nsanitary work is dangerous
as it allows foul gases to escape into the living room.
Our work is in charge of a Member of the Asso-
citation of Master Plumbers and we can design your
plumbing SO as to guard against this danger.
