Griebel, Sanitary Engineer. Heating Plumbing Gas W. M. Palmer Time marks the progress of all things and it is alwa: interesting to note the advancement of things we come hh daily contact with. It is within the recollection of most of us when the kitchen sink occupied an obscure position in the corner of the kitchen boxed into a wood frame with wooden cupboard underneath for pots and pans and inci- dentally making a fine dark damp breeding place for water bugs, roaches and other vermin. Through the different stages of progress up to the pres- ent time f was the desire and aim of all progressive fan ufacturers first to dispose of the wood around the sink which they did by substituting a roll rim on the front of the sink instead of the flat rim and by making a porcelain en- ameled sink back to get away from the wood at the back of the sink. Next was devised the porcelain enameled drain board which made possible a Ned orcelain enameled sink combination consisting of sink, back and drain board all separate. At this point the manufacturer of kitchen sinks bad progressed beyond the use of wood for any part but there ‘was still joints between the part that made up the complete combination where dirt, grease and moisture would find lodgement which in time would render this type of sink un- sanitary as the term is used today. Always striving toward perfection, one progressive manufacturer produced a roll rim sink with the back case integral, all porcelain enameled and thereby di with the bad joints between the back and sink in the old type. With this sink of course it was pacomers, to use a separate drain board with the subse- quent joint between the two. Later still the &ame manufacturer devised a way to pro- duce a sink with integral drain board and. back over both the sink and drain board which did away entirely with joints of any kind and was a truly sanitary fixture. Next was added the so-called apron front which gives the mod- ern sink the uussive uppearance that is so attractive, It is now possible to secure porcelain enameled sinks with right hand or left hand drain boards or with two drain boards, the whole being. made in one piece in a great va- riety of sizes to meet all requirements, lengths varying from 42 inches to 78 inches in length. They can also be set from 30 inches to 36 inches high from Zoos to top of sink, this range being sufficient to make sink the proper height for any height wo: to work at comfortably. These modern kitchen sinks can be equipped with se} te faucets with stream lators Ww! ich revent snlasting the water in the bottom of sink and making the water flow out of the faucet in a solid column. There is also a combination fixture which has a swin; ing spout through which both hot and cold water flow, ving the advantage of mixing the hot and cold -vater to the pro} temperature while flowing from the spout. This fitting saves water and prevente possible scalding from turning on the hot water faucet when water is very hot. The swing- ing spout when swung out extends to the center of the sink and when not/in use can*be swung back entirely out of the way. The modern sink strainer is so constructed that it may be closed off and the sink used Bs a dish pan, doing away with the old idea of setting the dish pan in the sink. It goes without saying that the kitchen in your home where food is prepared for your family three times every day should be equipped with modern sanitary fixtures. Stringent laws have ‘been enacted ar kenge | the equipment in. kitchens of all public’ eating places and particular at- tention is directed toward the sink which must conform with sanitary requirements. Equal care should certainly be taken in the home. _ Modern sanitary porcelain enameled kitchen sinks can be seen at plumbers’ showrooms maintained in Casper in designs and sizes which will meet all requirements. It will Tepay anyone whose sink grown old in service to call and look at these truly wonderful creations and see for themselves what is now possible to obtain and at what.com- paratively small cost you may replace your old sink for a new one.
