Important things to look for in a bathroom

1. 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.
