Important things to look for in a bathroom
I. POUND THE TUB. This American-Standard Contour tub has solid good looks. It is a sturdy cast iron tub deeply layered with enamel to protect against chipping and scratching. Off-center design gives you more room to bathe in and brings the back of the tub close for easy cleaning.
2. TAP THE LAVATORY. Use your wedding ring or a coin and listen for a clean, sharp "click". Then you know it's made of solid vitreous china or triple-thick enamel on rigid cast iron like this stunning Circlyn counter-top lavatory by American-Standard.
3. COUNT THE FAUCET HANDLES. One's the magic number when you have the new American-Standard Push-Pull control. One hand regulates flow and temperature. Made of non-corrosive stain- less steel and solid brass with a tarnish-proof Chromard finish, this handsome fitting won't drip; never needs a washer replacement. It's the dependable, washerless faucet. You'll find it practically care-free, too, since soapy fingers drip into the bowl-not on the faucet.
4. FLUSH THE TOILET. Which way does the water leave the bowl? It should run out at the rear of the bowl. That's called "reverse-trap" flushing action, and it's the first thing to look for in a good toilet. This Elongated Cadet+ toilet by American-Standard works that way. And its extra bowl length, plus greater water capacity, make it even more sanitary in use and easier to keep spot- less. And listen! Notice how quietly it flushes, with never a need for handle jiggling, no worry about running-water waste.
