As mellzie_1963 commented on my previous post on toilet seats and VD, it seems like overkill to have the plumber come in and install a new toilet seat - maybe you couldn't yet buy them at the hardware store? And maybe you had the electrician come by when a bulb burned out? Anyway, in this ad, we learn that there are four steps to beautifying your bathroom, which consist of installing a new toilet seat and buying stuff to match. Yes, that's four steps.

Edited to add: Turns out write_lite beat me to this one. You can vote for it here.

But by the late forties, we had gotten to "2-minute installation, anyone can do it", stage of things (see the Pearlustre toilet seat ad). Maybe it was the war that turned us into a DIY nation.

Oh, thank God Church is the brand name. I feared folks would have to share a pew. And when I say 'pew', I do mean pew!
