Looks like the Head of the
House will have a long white
beard before the water gets
hot enough to shave with!
Plenty of hot water in the
basement — but what he
needs is a CIRCULATING hot
water system — one that
brings hot water INSTANTLY
to every faucet! No house is
modem without one; if you
need one . . . call 46.
