George H. Tay Co. - 1901 - from back in the day when even the plumbing was beautiful...

This little book is chock full of answers to 'What's It?s'. somehow i never associated 'Yosemite' w/ luxurious toilets, but who knew? the carpetbags are interesting too. i never realized that they were actually produced as a commodity, but always assumed they were a 'make-do'.
