CHOOSE YOUR PLUMBER
AS YOU WOULD YOUR PHYSICIAN
Ask your best friend who his physician is. He no doubt can tell I you immediately the name address and telephone number of the one chosen to guard the health of his family.
Plumbers are as necessary in safeguarding the health of your family as physicians, and your plumber should be select- ed with the same care.".
You should know whom to call when you plumbing needs attention. You should be on intimate terms with your cho- sen plumber since he is the physician who will cure the ills of your sewerage, gas and water systems.
A neglected leak in your plum- bing may seriously impair th health of some one of your family.
Do not delay therefore, but secure expert advice which Our Plumbing Department will be glad to give free of charge.
