Brighter Kitchens
Modern woman has rubbed the magic lamp and -wished her kitchen into a palace. And the results exceed her Wildest dreams.
Gaily-coloured gas stoves that cook the food to a turn without any need for the watchful eye of the housewife are among the magical contrivances at the display of the gas industries section of the British Industries Fair at Birmingham, states an English newspaper. Decorative pieces of furniture there turn out to bo the very articles that once gave tihe kitchen its drab workaday air. Pastel-coloured enamels transform gas waterffieaters, wash coppers, refrigerators, and even irons into things of beauty, with the result that the kitchen has become one of the showrooms of the house. ' Eeseardi is the genie that has given glamour to even the most commonplace contrivances. The housewife now uses a gas. iron fitted with a boat indicator that enables her to obtain the correct heat for different fabrics. ’ Automatic control of the central-heating plant is another refinement in the gas world that is helping to reduce labour to a minimum. There are gas fires for the other rooms of the house that are absolutely noiseless, all in the newest colour schemes. The latest gas fires can be switched on, and is rich in health-giving short infra-red rays.
