3 Level Privy
What is it?
Early 1830’s — some rooming houses were
three levels high. (Mineral Point, Wi.
— lead mining town)
Tenants wanted convenience on every floor.
No more using a community pot in the
corner of the room or going down
stairs to the first level — out
into the cold, allowing
one to attend to
personal
needs.
Then climbing back up stairs
to 3rd. floor level in hotel.
Person could be half froze to
death when they returned.
The 3 level Crapper was invented.
Complete with corn cobs
(whites & browns — valid reason for that)
with directions for using them
and most important
All chutes placed with discretion
keeping in mind
where lower level
users parked their butts!

What’s inside?
150 + years ago
We still have the same engineering today.
However graduated from wooden
pipes to iron then plastic pipe.
Think about the last time you stayed on 12th.
floor of a 50 floor hotel? That “crapp” has
to get from top floor to bottom of
building, unless it gets tossed
out the window.
Present day builders cover up the chutes (pipes) with fancy
looking walls and add
more water to the crapp.
More water =s more crapp sliding thru
pipe faster to bottom of building.
Rate of drop: . . .85 to 125 mph.
Depends on how much “crapp”
& water is in the pipe. You
never hear a thing! Want
it to flow faster? Add
MORE water!
Great conversation piece for
any card club, saloon,
tavern, fireplace
mantel, cottage,
or credenza in
CEO’s office
where they
“cook” the books!

Most crappers had their own reading material.
Thanks to Sears Roebuck Company.
It wasn’t ‘till early
1830’s that perforated paper was invented. It took until late 1875 for
people to become acquainted to
something different than
corn cobs or strips
of cloth.
This subject was most difficult
for people to discuss with each other.
By the late 1880’s
toilet paper fixtures were carried in most general mercantile
stores. Mail order
catalogues advertised ten rolls
of paper $.05 cents total.
Such a deal!
Note how many “total square feet” of paper is contained in each 8, 10, 12, 16, 24
or 36 roll package of
“crapp” paper.

Pricing per package/roll is VERY competitive.
If you look close you’ll see differences in
length, width and perforation
distance for each square.
Buyers — should ignore printed pictures
on packaging — ducks, chickens,
cows, dogs, sheep PLUS
TALL green trees
in forests.
Might look pretty but
ain’t very functional.
Like leaves that fall off trees
– if ya follow what I’m
talking about!

Ah yes . . . the paper holder at one time was
just a little wider than a roll of paper, how-
ever, the last 30 years, paper mfgs. have
decreased width of rolls. At first they
reduced width by 1/16” decrements.
Now they’re using millimeters –
next will be centimeters. Buyers
don’t see drastic width changes.
Doesn’t seem like a lot to
users. Create 100,000,000
a month — u figger’
it out!
