Cabinels May Be Used In Many Places When you install a modern kitchen built around new steel cabinets you'll find your need for cabinets does not end in the kitchen. There are a wide variety of sizes, both those that sit on the floor and those that hang from the wall. You can use them singly and in groups in other places. You can put them in the laun dry, the utility area, the bath room, the garage, the workshop or the recreation room. Cabinets near the back door can hold galoshes for the small fry, coats, hats, work gloves, shoes and other work clothes. In most cases you can do it yourself. A steel kitchen dealer can help you pick cabinets the right size and tell you how to install them. They are perfect for work shop storage and a bank of cab inets In the garage can hold the clutter that usually accumulates there. - WW9 I I WEATHERPROOF CABINETS Did April showers make trou ble in your kitchen? Did the moisture make the drawers stick? Do you dread dry periods which bring warps and cracks? Such troubles don't show up in modern kitchens. Steel cabinets are not affected by the weather. CLEANING KITCHEN Modern kitchens are much easier to clean than the old fashioned kind. The baked enam el surface of steel cabinets usu ally can be wiped off with a soft cloth. DRAWER CONVENIENCE Drawers and cabinets play a big role in the conveniently arranged kitchen of today. The newest trend m design is toward finger-tip handiness for everything the housewife needs in preparing gracious and easy-to-fix meals. Modem Wall Cabinets Have Fluorescent Light Most steel wall cabinets-are made so that fluorescent lights can be installed under them to give light directly over work surfaces. This can b an im portant item in your new kit chen, but lights are one of the things which should be planned in advance. Electric circuits should be ar ranged so that there is plenty of light in work areas as well as good general lighting of the kitchen. Another modern convenience is the placing of lights inside the cabinets. They operate like the lights in your refrigerator and oven turning on when the door is opened. Experts Say New Kitchens More Valuable, Save Time When should an old kitchen be replaced with modern steel equipment? What can you expect in the way of improvement? Planning experts say a bad kitchen is a liability even the day after ft is installed. But you may have a kitchen that was the best available 20 or 30 years ago. How good is it today? It has had years of wear. The old cabinets and appliances take up more space than modern equipment. Hera is Case History But much of it is still sound. You don't have to make expen sive changes in floors or walls. YOU ) CAN 8(T)-O)00 On This Lovely Youngstown Kitchen 111 ! w Domem of otktr femtem YES . . .

Here is the case history of a typical kitchen remodeling job that brought its owners the latest in beauty and convenience at a minimum of effort and expense. The old kichen was shabby, awkward looking and ineffi ciently laid out. An outdated sink usurped too much room for the little work space offered. Cupboards Replaced Doors below -the bowl hid pipes but there was no storage room. Doors and drawers func tioned poorly due to many coats of paint. Interior shelves pro vided none of the modern stor age facilities required by today's varied food and equipment sup plies. The remodeling job was be gun by replacing the old-fashioned sink with a modern steel cabinet dishwasher-sink combi nation providing storage space below. The new installation re quired no more space yet sup plied three times as much con venience. Then, to provide just as much, if not more, work counter sur face and storage space, old cup boards were replaced by steel base cabinets. These were stan-1 dard and specialty units of var- j ied widths to provide storage . space needed for small appli ances, utensils and foods. A lazy-susan corner unit was installed at one end ot tne sim to permit a curved line effect that utilized every bit of space. A Personalized Note With a standard two-door cab inet next to it and a rounded-open-end base near the entryway this area was given a soft, dec orative finishing touch. Although the range didn't have to be replaced, steel wall cabinets were installed over it as was a special cabinet in wTiich a ventilating fan and range hood were fitted. This carried fumes, odors, and smoke out of the kitchen helping to keep the room comfortable and clean. To lend a finished, personalized note, ! steel what-not shelves were put up on either side of the windows J print curtains and freshly paint-! ed walls gave an entirely differ ent appearance to the back ground of this remodeled ! kitchen. !
