7WITH TRAP.
9THE GOLDEN GATE PLUG CLOSET.—This closet is the best of its kind having been so far constructed. It has the following advantages;
10(1.) It has a simple, strong valve, suitable for any pressure, self-closing by a genuine PHOSPHOR BRONZE SPRING, acting with the pressure. To prevent breaking and weakening of the Spring, I have gone to the expense of using PHOSPHOR BRONZE WIRE, which will have the desired effect.
11(2.) It has a real sanitary overflow, a copper float attached to a bell of the same metal resting on face of the brass overflow pipe, operated by the rising of the water in the closets above its level, thus absolutely preventing any escape of sewer gas—even the closets being without water.
12(3.) It has no dead corner, consequently no foul water will be left in the close after lifting of the handle. A constant rush out of the flood chambers will keep the closet and trap perfectly clean.
13(4.) The plug or plunger is made in such shape as to prevent passing of rubbish into the float chambers, resting with a soft rubber gasket on a ground heavy brass seat.
14(5.) All the iron parts of my closets are dipped into boiling hot asphaltum varnish. This system is far superior to painting with a brush in order to prevent rusting.
16The above stated facts, I am able to call my closets the most perfect and cheapest in the market.
173.—Architects who favor to furnish their patrons with the most RELIABLE goods should not hesitate to give this closet a trial.
