Busted Flush. The Thomas Crapper myth. My family's five generations in the bathroom industry

Notes:

Provides a narrative account of the Humpherson business and family, written by a family member who post 1945 was managing director of the firm until his family sold out in the 1970s. Explores the early connection with the Crapper business but largely focuses on the post 1940s history of the Humpherson business - its revival, development of new bathroom / kitchen concepts, merger with Standard Wallpapers, eventual demise. Some chapters are: 'Apprentice to Thomas Crapper'; '1876 and the Chelsea years'; 'Humpherson's patent syphon cistern and water waste preventer'; 'Copshops and prisons'; 'Humphersons at war'; 'Alfred Humpherson'; 'Edith Adelaide Humpherson'; 'Crappers for sale'; 'Flushed with Pride and the Crapper myth'; 'Humpherson & Howson'; 'Our growth'; 'The end of an era'.
