With one hand, you shift into the perfect water temperature, pop open the drain, even shoot an auto stream of detergent.

And Fiesta colors are as wild as the action — all 6 of them.

Add an American-Standard food waste disposer and V-A-R-O-O-O-M — you’ve left dullsville behind! The revolution is on at American-Standard.

Bright new note for your kitchen: Kohler sinks in five new accent colors! (1966)

The enamel on a Kohler sink is five times thicker than on a steel sink—and colorless stainless steel has no enamel. Because they’re solid cast iron, Kohler sinks help dampen disposer vibrations and noise.
