“Another Kind of Match Game”
|
| Something was missing and it wasn’t my toupee. I had just set up a new display. A pedestal sink featuring a Santa Monica series faucet from California Faucets. Sure, it looked snazzy and all. With its elegant rope lever handles, how could it not? But somehow the display seemed incomplete. Suddenly a familiar voice rang out, “Needs trim!” A frequent customer of mine had just entered. An interior designer named Doris Drain. I immediately caught her drift. Without a p-trap, angle stops and supply risers, my display was like a toilet without a seat. Sure you can use it, but would you really want to? Drain’s argument held water. The display needed trim. Not a problem. As a proud purveyor of Cal Trim I had all the pieces. I’d go the whole nine yards. I’m talkin’ p-trap, supply risers and angle stops in the same decorative finish as the faucet. But that’s not all. Forget standard angle stops. I’d install Cal Trim’s famous deluxe angle stops. With them, I could exactly match the handles to the ones on the faucet. “Perfection!” Drain declared. I couldn’t disagree. Then I thanked her for her advice. I’m not a man that’s afraid to give credit where credit is due. Especially when they carry a platinum card. Besides, as designers go, she’s one of the best. I told her I’d recommend her whenever I could. Drain gave me a peck on the cheek. Who could blame her? It’s a competitive world. Drain could use the plug. My name is Spout. Sam Spout. I run a showroom and like to specify California Faucets. Because quality product, customer service, and unparalleled on-time delivery matter. |
