IF THE bath room in your home
is sadly in need of new lava
tory and is also somewhat cramped
L for storage space, you will find
the answer to both of these difficult
ties in new cabinet fixture just
brought out.
For some strange reason the space
under lavatorieS has been left severely
alone in the past, and instead Of
utilizing the vacant area beneath the
fixture for the storage of bath room
accessories and supplies it has been
left open and unused. The under
side of a plumbing fixture isn't a
particularly pretty sight, even though
1t has lovely chromium legs, cnrom-
ium piping and other embellishments.
1t still is just the under SIDE of a
laVatory at best. and anything that
is done to beautify that spot will add
definitely to the appearance of the
entire room.
This new cabinet lavatory is sup
Piled with very cleverly designed
metal enclosure around the base OF
the fixture which contains spacious
shelf in the main part together with
conveniently arranged doors fitted with
small shelves. The cabinet is made
of baked enamel on steel, with long,
piano-hinged doors. modern design
handles and secure fastening devices.
1t is now available in number
of colors as we'll as white, and fea-
