YOU WANT A BATH

We call attention to the advertisement on Page 2 of May's plumbing works. This firm are so well known in Wanganui and district for the unapproachable quality of their work that it is hardly necessary for us to in any way call the attention of the public to the quality of their own patent bath (No, 24,381), which is on the market. The very fact that the patent has he^n brought out by May's is a sufficient guarantee of its quality, and those w!m Lave had these baths fitted in tlia.r homes are more than satisfied with them. They have also just received the "last worl" in lavatory basins. These basins are made of cast iron and enamel with nickel-plated traps, and should be in every modern house. An inspection of both the bath and basin can be ma le at the firm's premises, Taupo Quay.
