Period
Used by Binney Albert Parsons and his wife Eleanor Fraser, along with their children between 1941-2005.
Canada
The sanitary appliance industry decided to offer coloured products starting in 1926. The colour red appeared around 1930 and Canadian sanitary manufacturers offered six different colours including this one which is known as T’ang red. The manufacturing company named Standard Sanitary & Dominion Radiator, Limited who made these coloured appliances changed its name to American-Standard in 1948. In Canada, the name became American-Standard Products (Canada) Limited with the last factory closing in 2015 in Winnipeg. This artifact embodies a time when the only 61% of Canadians had access to running water. According to Statistics Canada, 56% of Canadians had a flushable toilet and only 45% had a shower or a bath. L'industrie des appareils sanitaires réussit à rejoindre les autres industries en offrant des produits colorés à compter de 1926 et le rouge apparut vers 1930 et l'usine canadienne proposais six options comme couleur incluant le rouge T'ang. La couleur des objets, de couleur rouge nommé T'ang Red, fabrique par une compagnie canadienne nommée Standard Sanitary&Dominion Radiator, Limited. En 1948 la firme prise le nom d'American-Standard. Au Canada, le nom devint American-Standard Products (Canada) Limited. La dernière usine au Canada, celle de Winnipeg, ferma en 2015. L'usage d'une toilette et d'un bain et/ou douche et même l'accès à l'eau courante n'était pas encore généralisé même en 1941. Selon Statistiques Canada, en 1941, 56% des habitations au Canada avaient une toilette à chasse, 45% un bain ou une douche et 61% l'eau courante.
