"Standard Plumbing Fixtures for the Home," issued by the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company, 1924. The 68-page catalog has a gray paper cover with a color drawing at the center of the front of a woman bathing a child. The blond child stands in a bathtub while the woman, who wears a blue dress, sits on the edge of the tub and scrubs the child's back. At the center of the bottom is the title in blue ink. At the center of the back is a color drawing of a plumber in overalls who stands above a crowd. The earth is at the center of the background. Across the top in green is, "The Plumber Protects the / Health of the Nation." At the beginning are an article on plumbing and a list of the company's branches. Items listed include bathtubs, toilets, faucets, sinks, and showers and bathroom accessories such as soap trays, towel racks, and laundry trays. At the end are ordering instructions and a note on choosing a plumber. Many black and white illustrations are included. With light abrasions and dents, some surface soiling, and a stain on the back, the artifact is in good condition.Lexicon
