able to one in the tub. Hot and cold
water and the opening and closing
valves in the tub, are all controlled
by white enameled, four-pointed
control wheel valves inset in the wall
at the head Of the tub. A built-in
soap rack is placed near the middle
Of the tub, the most convenient spot
A shower with hot md ocld water
controls, extends ovcr the bath.
These controls are inset in the wall
at the head of the tub above the
controls for the tub proper.
Hays and Sons regard this tub and
accessories the maximum in sim
plicity and efficiency. Everything Is
conveniently placed, no sharp pro.
jections, shower and tub, should
make this appeal to home seekers, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hays.
An electrical and plumbing house
is maintained in San BeEito by an
other son Of Mr.. Hays.
The toilets outstanding feature Is
a noiseless flushing system.
Heater Best design
A wash basin Of Kohier and kohler
is installed on the wall opposite the
bath. IL has hot and ctld water n
nections with the control wheel OF
the valve in the basin, all controlled
from the wall. II has a light over
IL that is curved so as to make il an
ideal place for shaving. The valve
control wheel permits letting out the
water without wettiny Of the hands,
The water heating unit Is OF the
best design in the gas heated line,
Mr.. Hays says. Ii IS of automatic
design. the flame being regulated by
the turning on of sny hot water
faucet in the house. IL is of the
storage type Water can be heated
up from a dead standstill in a very
short time. according To Mr.. Hayes.
Mr.. Hays says after IL years Of ex-
perience with heaters, he believes
this system to be of the best type in
gas heating lines.
The electrical fixtures are slightly
more ornate than the plumbing and
this is accountable to the fact that
the electrical effects are more out of
the way. and less actual contact
maintained with them. The switches
are about all that actual contact is
maintained with, and in these sim
plicity is again keynoted, Mr.. Hays
says.
Wiring Effective
Several attractive features are en-
bodied in the wiring and the one that
appeals to both men and women
alike. is the remote control Of lights
in the garage. The garage lights
may be turned on from either the bed
room or the kitchen. The garage is
plainly visible from the bed room.
A closet door in the bed room acts
as a switch. Opening Of the door
lights the closet and Il is automatic
ally shut off when the door is closed.
Mr.. Hays said this is being used 10
a large extent now, and he thinks il
a useful innovation.
Moe-Bridges electrical appliances
were used throughout the building.

Sink Revelation
The distinctive marking Of the
Kohler wares is its cleaning white
ness that gives a distinct impress
sion Of cleanliness. This feature is
appreciated by good housekeepers
because uncleapliness quickly be-
comes apparent against such a back
ground. The use Of these proved
lines coupled with excellent work
manship in installation insured by
personal attention to every job, has
built up a reputation Of staunchness
and frank honesty for the firm.
The sink in the kitchen OF the
Model home is a revelation in COM

object with q German pipe-like

HAYS & Sons
DO FIXTURES
OF new Home
Simplicity Keynoted
In Plumbing; The
Electrical Parts Are
Slightly Ornate

The electrical and plumbing fix
lures in the Model Home, installed
by Hays and Sons, are keynoted by
simplicity Of lines in such a way
that simplicity becomes beauty.
In spite OF apparent simplicity.
which Is the trend in most work OF
this kind now Mr.. Hays says, all
short cuts are made to utility. In
these fixtures, as is often the case
in other matters. simplicity and eff
cheney are synonymous and all
gsudy superflous gestures that are
intended solely to catch the eye are
avoided. This keynote has not been
extended to such an extent as to
become Sp~artan-like. but all fix
lures would meet the appreciation
Of both an artist and an efficiency
expert, he says.
Hays and Son, like the lines they
handle and the methods Of work
nianship they use. have stood the
test on the best proving ground
known-time. They claim TO be
oldest established plumbing and
electrical house in the Valley. hav-
ing been in the business here for
over ~ years. During this span.
which is remarkable when develop
nent Of the Valley during that
period is considered. this company
has grown up with the Valley.
Quality Concealed
The fixtures they have installed
in the Model home are OF the koh-
Ter of Kohler enamelware plumbing
line and the Moe-Bridges electrical
line, both OF which are nationally
advertised products. This fact in
itself is ample proof OF the worth
Of the materials for a poor product
cannot afford to have the lime

self, for the public soon discovers
the Objectionable points in any arti-
Gle.
Mr.. Hays said that the best part
of his work never comes to the sur
face but that all piping must main
tain a uniformity of quality, and a
high quality too, for like a chain,
a plumbing system in = home, Is no
stronger than its weakest point.
Most people having excellent work
manship in their plumbing are un-
aware Of its excellence, for this
covered work is never noticed until
defects develop. Mr.. Hays explain

single movable spout, which can
cover a wide range in the sink prop
or. and an elevated dish rack above
the depression, make this peice es-
pccially adapted to dish washing.
The depression in the sink is amply
deep to contain water enough TO
cleanse a large collection of dishes
at one time. Ii also contains a
built-in soap rack that is easily ac-
cessible from all angles, and that
should prove a boon to a busy huse-
wife. The whiteness of the sink
keeps the completely clean appear
ance of the kitchen unblemished.
Rounded corners and lack of creva-
ces make the cleaning of the sink
an easy matter.
Bath Fixtures Fine
An especially attractive bath
room, says Mr.. Hays, has resulted
from close cooperation between the
plasterers and the men installing
the fixtures. He was very grateful
TO Whitley Robinson. contracting
plasterer. for his care and excellent
workmanship in the bath room,
which enabled him to set off the
