May Have Conveniences in Farm Kitchen
The illustration shows a farm kitchen improved to demonstrate modern utilities. It includes running hot and cold water, a high sink, a left-hand drain board, a sanitary pail, a wastebasket, and a ladder steel. A coffee percolator sits atop the electric range, with light from window by day and overhead lighting at night. The washtubs receive light and air from the window and can serve as a dish table when not in use. The enamel table and linoleum floor are easy to clean and heat resistant. The kitchen cabinet acts as the food prep center near the sink for washing vegetables and fruits, filling utensils, and washing after use. Located in New Jersey, the kitchen was shown by the U S Department of Agriculture to demonstrate practical improvements.
