Not a real Morgan item, but, we recently installed a new toilet in our
house. It is a "TOTO" brand 1.6 gallon, one peice (the tank and the bowl
are made as one unit). It is smaller physically than our old American
Standard brand 7 gallon toilet, and flushes GREAT. There is a Web site
that a plumber in Oregon put together that rates many brands of toilets and
the TOTO is rated the highest. After 6 months we are still overjoyed with
the way that it flushes, as stange as that may seem. The Web site is
