Standard FIXTURES GIVE PERMANENT SATISFACTION
WHEN an architect’s client finds that
“STANDARD” Porcelain Enameled
Fixtures have been specified for his property he is pleased, because he has been taught
by actual experiences to regard “STANDARD” Fixtures as the most beautiful, the most sanitary and the most satisfactory equipment that he can secure. The Architect on the other hand knows that his customer has the right impression of Stattcfard
fixtures and that the test of use will increase his satisfaction.

Grand Rapids, Mich.—William G. Robinson, senior partner and founder of the firm of W. G. & F. S. Robinson, architects, died February 20.

Newark, N. J.—A suit that has been hanging fire for several months was settled in the Second District Court February 4, when Judge Lintott rendered a verdict for $210 as commissions to Gustave Staeh- Iin, an architect, employed by Edmund Stiefel, owner of the Anheuser-Busch restaurant at Market and Beaver Streets, now in process of remodeling. It appeared from witnesses that the plaintiff, after having been engaged by the defendant to prepare plans for the alterations and submitting plans and specifications complete was “chucked.” Stiefel, without notice to the architect, had the plans so modified that those finally adopted were practically another set. All this took place without notice to the plaintiff. When this came to his attention he took the act as an insult to him in his professional capacity. Judge Lintott
said the circumstances had been such the plaintiff had a right to feel incensed. He held that in altering the plans without consulting with the architect the defendant had been first to break the contract between them. He allowed commission, however, on $6,000 only, it having been proved that this was the cost of the work. The plaintiff wanted commission on $9,000, his estimate of what the work would have cost had it been done in accordance with the plans first submitted.—Newark Advertiser.
