EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the future of home sanitation with the Improved Earth Closets and Commodes, advertised by O'Brien, Thomas, & Co in February 1898. This innovative household equipment was a significant improvement from the traditional earthenware pans and buckets that were commonly used in Victorian homes. The advertisement showcases a sleek and modern design, featuring a porcelain toilet bowl connected to an earth closet system. The earth closet, also known as a dry toilet, was a more hygienic alternative to the bucket system, as it allowed for the waste to be buried in the ground instead of being stored in a bucket. The commode, a chair-like seat with a detachable bowl, added a touch of elegance and convenience to the bathroom. The Improved Earth Closets and Commodes were made of galvanised iron, making them durable and long-lasting. The advertisement highlights the company's commitment to providing high-quality sanitary ware, ensuring that their customers could enjoy the latest advancements in household equipment. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the late Victorian era, a time when advancements in technology and design were transforming the way people lived. The Improved Earth Closets and Commodes represented a significant step forward in home sanitation, offering a more hygienic and convenient solution for households. The advertisement also showcases the growing importance of advertising in the late 1800s, as companies sought to promote their products to a wider audience. O'Brien, Thomas, & Co's advertisement in Upper Thames Street, London, would have reached a large number of potential customers, helping to establish the company as a leading provider of household equipment.
