Griebel, Sanitary Enginect. in the home. A matter of prime importance to the home- builder is the proper installation and selection of plumbing fixtures. First and foremost considera- tion must be given to the selection of a competent plumber. It is often dangerous to health to do otherwise, as the fixtures might not be properly installed by unqualified persons. I place the selec- tion of the plumber as the first consideration from the fact that the effect of very beautiful and ex- pensive fixtures can easily be entirely spoiled by poor workmanship, whereas comparatively inex- pensive fixtures can be made doubly attractive by high class workmanship in their installation. Second, but none the less important, ts to se- cure the advice and service of, up-to-date manu- facturers of plumbing fixtures as to the’ best possi- ble selection for your particular requiremenis. In Casper you will find showrooms, in charge of com- petent plumbers, in which are displayed the very latest products in the plumbing line, with a com- plete range of prices to fit all cases, from which you may select these fixtures which best suit your needs and secure without cost detailed description of the items selected. It is well to arrange to make your visit with your architect; no doubt he will suggest it. Lastly, let me advise that you not stint your- self on this matter of plumbing equipment; re- member, it is called upon to give you constant, efficient service twenty-four hours « day, ard that good fixtures properly installed are a pleasure to have, while poor plumbing is the. most aggravat- ing thing in the world, Care:in the selection of plumber and equipment will make your bath- room your pride and an everlasting source of pleasure.
