Incorrect History f Standard Sanitary. edit

The original Standard Sanitary was formed when James West Arrott of James West Arrott Insurance company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania took over a bankrupt hooper company that could not pay their insurance premiums. Along with Francis Torrance (they were related as they married the Waddell sisters) they learned about the enamelization of porcelain on Europe and brought that technique to America by first making bathtubs and then toilets and sinks. It was in the late 1890’s that Standard Sanitary was combined with other plumbing manufacturers to form the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company. I am am the Great Great Grandson of James West Arrott and studied James West Arrott extensively. RANCHMANNM (talk) 03:46, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
