But back behind the scenes someone muSt work to keep things going smoothly out in front. No Spotlight here—and all too little credit and applause! 'Back in the kitchen of every home is a woman who controls a large shares of the family happiness and health—a job which demands real generalship, infinite resource and long, long hours of hard work. It is with an understanding appreciation of the woman in the kitchen and her job that we send this little book and hope the suggestions it contains may somehow help in easing the pressing burden of work that must be done to make a ho?ne successful. The Hoosier Manufacturing Company Newcastle, Indiana < 2 >■ The iJMoDEREi Kitcheei kJMust be c- Attractive and Convenient fter all, your kitchen is more exclusively your room than any other in the house. You spend longer hours in it every day. You alone decide its arrangement and appearance. Of course you have planned your kitchen to meet your needs—and yet is it really as comfortable, convenient and inviting as your living room, for in¬ stance? Domestic science authorities tell us that the really modern kitchen must meet two great requirements. First, it must be attractive —an inviting, restful place to work. For where we work has so much to do with how we work! You know that dismal depression that engulfs you in a cluttered, unsightly kitchen. But in an orderly, cheerful room —how much more happily we work, and therefore more easily! Second, the kitchen must be convenient; fully, completely furnished! Of all rooms in the house the one where you spend your longest, hardest working hours should be planned to the last detail and ade¬ quately equipped. Only so can you route your work and save the fruit¬ less effort and wasted steps that are so large a part of kitchen activity! The Hoosier Manufacturing Company has made it possible for you to enjoy such a kitchen—trim, attractive and well ordered—with sat¬ isfying ease and economy. In our test kitchens at Newcastle, Indiana, domestic science experts have designed equipment that ideally fills the practical and artistic needs of a thoroughly modern kitchen. The various units of Hoosier equipment are shown on the pages following. You may see them at the Hoosier Store in your city and there find help in planning for your special kitchen needs. The Troblem of the Targe%_ KitcheH i itchens which must serve large households have their own pe¬ culiar problems. They are harder to make look cozy and special care must be taken in the choice of furnishings, to take away that “barny” look. And more impor¬ tant still, they must be equipped to save much of the walking which their very size imposes. If possible, the floor area of a kitchen should not exceed 144 square feet. The plan opposite shows a kitchen 12x12. Notice how compact it is; you could do the work as easily in it as in a room much smaller. This is due, of course, to the splen¬ did choice of equipment and to its well planned arrangement. The position of the Hoosier Units is especially chosen, flanking the sink. There is a spacious breakfast alcove, delightfully fur¬ nished with the complete Hoosier Breakfast Set and with an extra Hoosier China Unit. This charming and efficient arrangement proves that size need be no handicap! Edo you like pretty blues, greens and yellows? ‘They are recommended for kitchens! Hereu are three color schemes that give a delightful effect; light yellow -walls, deep cream wood¬ work, blue-and-white check linoleum; soft blue -walls, gray woodwork, linoleum in blue and gray touched with black; ivory walls, pale green woodwork, and floor painted black, then varnished. For practical and artistic reasons, the woodwork should be lighter than the floor, and the ceiling lighted of all ^»»H) w+w] >^w^>o »^>m) ;rvvv$+o Hrvnrvo >r*-y t+o Because of the size of this kitchen, it accommodates particularly well the 48-inch Hoosier Highboy Cabinet, one single and two double units and the full Hoosier Breakfast Set. A very handsome kitchen suite W indow curtains furnish many possibilities for brightening the kitchen. Cretonne, bound in black or white, is gdily decorative. Shades of glazed Chintz are charming. They haves the added virtue of shedding duff and diffusing light. Chambray curtains are lovely em¬ broidered or cross-ditched simply, or made up with false hems of a contrasting color. Checked gingham, finished with rick-rack braid is delightfully novel. <_And plain white or cream materials, worked in bright colors, offer infinite variety < 5 > H or a Useless "Pantry ".Became a Charming "'Breakfast' U[poK ERE is a plan which illustrates how a little ingenious planning can make a kitchen perfect. You see a breakfast alcove is an integral part of this plan. And would you be¬ lieve that this charming kitchen adjunct was once a pantry—a dis¬ tant, inaccessible pantry! By converting it into a breakfast nook, you have all the convenience of a kitchenette apartment and yet enjoy the spacious room of a real house. To take the place of the cupboard space which the former pantry afforded, Hoosier movable units were placed, right in the kitchen , where storage space ought to be. Not only is this arrangement particularly happy in point of appearance, but it materially reduces the amount of walking necessary in the day’s work. And what a satisfaction it is to turn a useless, impractical thing into a cozy cheery spot of real use! Such a change requires no great expense and very little trouble. With Hoosier equipment it is quite simple to obtain, whether in the old kitchen or for that new one now being so carefully planned. 1 HE most citified of city folks may have a garden—in a neatly designed box, preferably one with metal lining, on the kitchen window-sill! Here, the practical housewife may grow her own parsley, chives and mint, ready for use when occasion demands, rejoicing in the meantime that she is adding another touch of beauty to her kitchen. Of course she will paint the box a cheery color. The box might contain flowers, or it could be displaced by a fern or a bright potted plant <6b (W-^K OH-M+< Q*+*aH£ CM <« w**o »m-h] ?-»>^o m^o ^m>>o>WT^»vwo k>^»o >J-t+t+o This kitchen presents special means for economy of the worker’s time and strength. You will notice that the Hoosier single units are placed in two strategic positions: one, beside the range; the other beside the cabinet JFalls tiled, painted, or covered with a painted material that is applied like wall paper, are all attractive and washable. ‘Tainted, walls are less expensive than tiling, permit a—> greater warmth and variety of coloring, and may be renewed by the housewife herself. It is wise to remember that light walls are cheerier and require less illumination than dark. Flat paint finish for woodwork is reltful for the eyes, washable and easily applied by the amateur 4 7 b ^ JhVf««0 rtw+o irriFFTrO >y->yy*0 The Kitchex Should Come First IN H ouse Planning N planning a house, the kitchen-; is too often an afterthought, taking what is left after the other rooms are duly provided for. Because the most important work of the household is done in the kitchen, its appearance and arrangement have a vital meaning. The kitchen deserves to be considered in house planning, as much as any other room. The essen¬ tials to be considered inplanningareexposure, shape, size and equipment. The necessities of kitchen equipment are sink with drain board, refrigerator, range, cabinet working center and cupboard space. This equipment can be amplified infinitely, depend¬ ing upon the size of the household to be served and the number of workers. In arranging equipment, the progression of working operations should be observed. For instance, in the plan shown on the opposite page, notice that beside the range, a Hoos- ier pot and pan unit is placed. Here, then, one finds the frying pan all ready for the fire—and there is no walking across the room for it! Again, the Hoosier Cabinet and refrigerator are grouped to¬ gether—bringing the food supplies right to the very center of activity. A little planning in time saves much labor! N.choosing a floor covering, one must consider appearance, cleanliness, wear, comfort for the feet—and expense. Inlaid linoleum, waxed and cemented, gives all-around satis¬ faction. Domestic science experts also recommend tile, cork carpet, interlocking rubber, and the wood floor, waxed, painted or varnished. Start here to build up your color scheme, for most floor coverings come in a variety of attractive color patterns. The small all-over designs are easiest to keep looking clean-> < 8 f- This plan shows a careful study of kitchen activities. It is logically planned so that there is small danger of crossing one’s own tracks numberless times, as happens in so many kitchens HI Y all means, have a rest nook ! table rwith a Straight chair, an easy chair, a bright potted plant; above the table, a shelf for books and magazines, a calendar, a cheerful picture —these are suggestions for a small "oasis”, ■where you may relax a moment while keeping a weather-eye on the cooking. The charming little Hoosier 'TSreakfaSt Set, white enameled porceliron top table and low-backed cane-seated chairs, each with a touch of color, makes an inexpensive nucleus for such a quiet corner ■4 9 ]r- What Hoosie%_ Equipment "Brinqs to Your Kitchen he three kitchen plans oppo¬ site show how Hoosier equipment answers every need more fully than any other can possibly do. Take, for instance, the Hoosier Highboy, supplemented, as it is, with the Hoosier double cupboard unit in the first plan. Here you have your working center. But the difference between the Hoosier work¬ ing center and the average built-in affair, is that in the Hoosier you really have every possible facility you need to work with! Not in long years and perhaps never, could you assemble the accessories and fittings which Hoosier provides. The cabinet table space is supplemented by that of other Hoosier tables and the cabinet storage space by that of the Hoosier Units. And every separate unit matches in finish and design, mak¬ ing a kitchen suite that you can never equal with any of your own devising and building— either from the standpoint of handsome furni¬ ture or pure efficiency. From a cost standpoint, too, Hoosier equipment brings more to your kitchen than any other means of furnishing. c A kitchen must be well ventilated to be comfortable. This need will be filled if win¬ dows are opposite each other so as to give a natural cross-current of air. Tut in case they are not, or if there is only one window, a very good circulation of air may be produced by placing an electric fan on a small shelf about eight feet from the floor, ten-inch fan is large enough for a small kitchen ■4 10 k" 1 HIS plan will delight the heart of the woman who can never get enough table space for her culinary operations. The Hoosier double cupboard unit is placed as an ex¬ tension of the Hoosier Cabinet—a very effective massing of furniture. 1 HE WOMAN who likes ample storage space will find this plan particularly appealing. Plenty of room here for everything, with Hoosier double storage units in both kitchen and breakfast alcove! '1 HIS PLAN provides for all the equipment necessary to carry on efficiently the work of any house¬ hold. Note the ample table and cupboard space; a wise provision— complete, efficient and attractive! TVo detail of kitchen equipment is more important than the height of sink and -work table. sink thirty-five inches from the floor is comfortable for workers ranging from five feet to five feet six inches. The ideal height for the work table is eight inches below the~> worker’s elbow. An exclusive feature of the Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet, is the adjusted height, which makes it possible for the user to work in comfort-, < 11 > The First 1\(eed of a ^Moderei Kitcheei — Working Center n planning adequate equipment for the modern kitchen the first need is—a working center! This need the Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet fills, in the most complete, conve¬ nient working center that can possibly be devised. With a Hoosier cabinet as the cen¬ ter of kitchen activity, you can really “route” your work to save both time and strength. THE HOOSIER HIGHBOY (48-inch )— A MODEL OF UNEQUALED DISTINCTION To the Hoosier Highboy belongs the distinction of being the finest and most complete kitchen cabinet ever designed. It furnishes an expanse of work-space and a storage capacity unequaled in any other model—15% more than in the average size. The roomy upper shelves —wide enough for a full-size dinner plate—are an ex¬ clusive Hoosier feature. In height, flush with the average door casing and with other proportions equally imposing, this Highboy model lends to the kitchen the fine dignity and substantial beauty of furniture specially designed. And it is partic¬ ularly effective when used in conjunction with the other Hoosier Units, making a room uniform in finish and de¬ sign; completely, handsomely furnished to the last detail! It has so many conveniences, too, not possible to get in a cabinet of smaller size—the lower section double doors, completely fitted with air-tight crystal jars for bulk foods, and special trays for egg-beaters, potato-mashers and those small odd pieces that never seem to have a niche of their own. This model finds its ideal use, of course, in larger kitchens, on the farm or in city homes of greater size. Highboy equipment includes white porceliron top, 27 x48 inches, oper¬ ating on roller-spring tension; mouse-proof construction; ant-proof casters; shaker sifter; 14-piece glassware set; velvet-lined silverware extension drawer; 10-piece Hoosier Domestic Science cutlery set; extension drawer with compartments for this set. < 12 Ih- THE HOOSIER HIGHBOY— 48-inch ^Model Extreme width of cabinet . 49 inches Depth of base section ■ ■ • • • • Width of extension work table . . . 48 inches Depth of work table (closed) . . . .

That is why the old de¬ tached butler’s pantry is giving place to cupboards which are a part of the kitchen itself. For the average kitchen the separate pantry is a poor in- It takes up space which might be more profitably used, and imposes so much extra walking and work In modem kitchen planning, the space formerly given to a remote and impracticable pantry is now being used for that delightful kitchen adjunct — the breakfast alcove. And how much more inviting and convenient this arrangement is ! Economical, too, for it not only affords a saving of steps and work but the same financial outlay provides so much more—breakfast nook and in addition, the handy cupboards right in the kitchen exactly where you need them. Hoosier movable units ideally provide the extra storage space which every kitchen needs in addition to that afforded in the cabinet itself. The same scientific designing which has made the Hoosier Cabinet a perfect working center, offers, in these units, a complete, modern pantry. Hoosier Units are designed in roomy single and double size, the same height as the Hoosier Highboy Cabinets and the same depth as the upper section of these cabinets. And of course they match the cabinets in finish and design. You may use these special Hoosier Units as an extension of your Highboy cabinet—on either side or in other suitable places in the room where wall space and convenience designate. Whatever the arrangement in which you choose to use cabinet and units, you have, with this Hoosier equipment, not only a well-or¬ dered, efficient kitchen but an attractive room, charmingly furnished, as uniform as if designed and built to your own special order—and so much more complete in every detail! -4 20 U »^K) >P- MHy -0 yn^H^C »>>fr>0 ^HK-tMI yt-yyw) yy^y> o j*w*M) S4-VK-K) NN-M^K) HhVsUO HOOSIER DOUBLE SHELF UNIT Generously supplied with adjustable shelves, it affords storage space for supplies, dishes and utensils, equal to that of the average pantry.

In these cases, this work table has a special value as a supplement to the Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet. The three roomy drawers and the handy cutting board are points that win special ap¬ preciation. This table has the same attractive features as the Hoosier Breakfast Set and the Hoosier Kitchen Cabinets—white enamel finish, blue decoration, porceliron top, and nickel drawer pulls.

Many of these special devices cannot be duplicated; others can be duplicated only at an expenditure of time and money that few housewives would be likely to incur. Velvet-lined Silver Compartments THIS is a great convenience for the woman who keeps the working por¬ tion of her silver in the kitchen. The pad in the bottom of this compartment lifts out easily for brushing. The other half of the drawer is ideal for tea towels. This drawer, like the cutlery drawer, pulls forward with the extension table top, so that its contents are always within easy reach. One of the most popular features of the Hoosier Beauty and Highboy mod¬ els! The drawer slides out with the table top, so that it is always accessible. The special device pictured holds each utensil in its place. Leading domestic science experts pronounce this 10- piece cutlery set the most practical for every kitchen. It comprises meat knife, French trimming knife, paring knives, bread knives, strong-pronged forks and handy spatulas. Every utensil is made of the finest crucible steel, pi iant and keen-edged. The handles are light¬ weight, water-proof, and really “fit the hand.” Hoosier Cutlery “Drawer with Complete^ Hoosier'Domestic Science Kitchen Set 1 he Hoosier is the only kitchen cab¬ inet that gives every woman a work table adjusted to her height. Women whose back and shoulder muscles have suffered the aches that come from working at a table top that is too high or too low, will fully appreciate this vitally important feature. The adjust¬ ing is done by means of detachable legs of various heights. The Hoosier e.Adjusted Heights 1 he final choice of Hoosier manufac¬ turers and domestic science experts, as the only flour bin that meets all essential requirements! It has no trou¬ blesome mechanical contrivances to get out of order; it is particularly easy to fill; it is the only bin with a sliding glass panel, which enables the user to reach every corner for cleaning, or to return flour to the bin quickly and eas¬ ily when more is sifted than is needed. ■JHost ^Practical Flour 'B 'nu, 1 His is one of the Hoosier’s most de¬ sirable appliances. It works four times as fast as most sifters, and “fluffs” the flour in addition to sifting it. The special Hoosier agitator feeds the flour into the sifter freely and smoothly, even when the weather is damp. The whole sifter is very simple and comes apart in an instant for cleaning. The Shaker Flour Sifter The Hoosier Sugar “Bin-, 1 HIS is the only bin from which sugar can easily be scooped from the top or drawn from the spout at the bottom. As it has an unusually large capacity, the owner may buy sugar at quantity prices. The bin is held in place by a strong safety catch, but may be quickly removed for cleaning. The sugar comes into contact only with clean triple- plated metal. W hen closed, these roll doors form a neat screen for the work section of your cabinet. When you are ready for business again, they can be opened and rolled back out of the way in an instant. And they come out easily for cleaning. A special slot in the middle of the grooved channel in which the doors roll, makes this channel practically self-cleaning. Crumbs and dust are pushed along by the doors themselves through this slot, from where they may easily be brushed away. Hoosier Roll'Doors 1 his is one of the Hoosier’s most appreciated features. Each jar is so plainly labeled, and the caster whirls about so easily, that the housewife can find in an instant just what she wants. Some of the jars have air-tight alum¬ inum tops, while others have perfor¬ ated aluminum tops. This makes it possible to keep each seasoning in the container that suits it best. 'Revolving Spice fkr/er -®C 30 \a- jTrom the front edge of the extended table top to the back of the cabinet, there is a broad, free working space of nearly 10 % square feet! Every housewife will appreciate the conven¬ ience of this special feature. And be¬ cause there are no partitions in the way, it is possible to get pans and dishes directly under the flour sifter, no matter how wide they may be. The Hoosier Spacious Work Tables Hv ery Hoosier Cabinet is equipped with metal ant cups—just above the easy-rolling casters. With some sub¬ stance such as borax or tartar emetic in these cups, the cabinet can always be kept free of ants. To further insure perfect cleanliness, all doors are equipped with over-lapping dust- strips. Besides these, the Hoosier Beauty and Highboy cabinets are equipped with tight-fitting tops over the lower section which make them absolutely mouse-proof.

At all times — whether partly or entirely extended —the Hoosier table top is held per¬ fectly rigid. Yet it works backward and forward with the greatest ease and smoothness. This great improvement over the old-style table is one of the most appreciated Hoosier features. 1 he Hoosier shiningwhite top is the best possible molding board—always in place, ready for use. Unlike a wooden board, it has no pores for dough to work into and turn sour. And because dough will not stick to it, there is no waste. This is supplemented by a wooden cutting board which slides out below the shelf of the base cupboard. The use of this board will save your knives from becoming dulled. 'Practical (^Molding ‘'Board Cv ery Hoosier Beauty and Hoosier Highboy is equipped with this hand¬ some set. Besides the seven spice jars, there are five larger air-tight contain¬ ers for dry staples, such as coffee, rice or beans. One smaller jar is suitable for tea or cocoa, while the handy, open dish makes an ideal container for salt. Each jar has its own place, just where it is ready to your touch. 14-'Piece Set of Crystal Cjlass-ware^ T IS easy to find knives, spoons, change, milk tickets and other small ‘what-nots” in these special door trays. Metal racks on the door prevent ex¬ tract bottles from falling. Another door rack holds the cook book open at eye level. Besides these conven¬ iences, the upper doors of the larger Hoosier models are equipped with Mrs. Christine Frederick’s Patented Food Guide and Salad chart; grocery want dial; food timer and bill files. Handy Trays Scientific 'Design and Construction jPurther proof of the Hoosier’s scientific construction may be seen in the roomy sliding shelves of the lower section; and in the big metal-lined drawers with their ventilated lids, for keeping food. The whole Hoosier Cabinet is finished with a special frame, put on with heavy screws, to give it greater strength All panels are three-ply to prevent cracking, splitting, or warping. Printed in l\ S.
