which slide in grooves so that 

 they open out and at a slight 

 angle. Under the bins is a storage 

 space in which the larger and 

 heavier pots and preserving ket- 

 tles are kept. 



The table section is a special 

 feature. The board top is covered 

 over with oilcloth and over this a 

 glass cover is fitted. This makes 

 it easy to keep spotlessly clean. 

 At the same time, it may be used 

 as a bread board on which dough 

 may be kneaded, or for any other 

 purpose for which separate trays 

 or boards would have to be used.

EFFICIENCY in the kitchen, almost 

 more than anywhere else, demands 

 conservation of space, 

 so that steps are saved 

 from table to stove or 

 cupboard and back. 

 In the kitchen cabinet 

 illustrated above, the 

 kitchen table is in one 

 with the cupboard. In 

 fact, it is the top board 

 of the bottom section 

 of the cabinet. 



The top section con- 

 sists of a closet for 

 dishes, jars and cook- 

 ing utensils. It ex- 

 tends clear up to the 

 ceiling, the top shelves 

 being occupied by the 

 articles not frequently 

 required. The closet 

 underneath the table 

 section is fitted with 

 three semi-circular bins 



Diagram of the automatic heater which 

 serves equally well for either large or 

 email steam, vapor, or hot water systems 



HEATER which serves 

 equally well forsteam, vapor, 

 or hot water heating systems has 

 a magazine and sloping grates, so 

 that it requires little care. By 

 filling the magazine and removing 

 the ashes from the sloping grates 

 the heater can be made to run it- 

 self with attention only once or 

 twice a day. The coal in the 

 magazine is surrounded by a 

 water-jacket so that the coal inside is not 

 turned into coke before reaching the burn- 

 ing portion. This is the special feature of 

 the device in which it differs from other 

 types of self-feeding heaters. The coal 

 drops gradually into 

 the fire-bed. 



Because of its auto- 

 matic action the heater 

 is especially adapted 

 for use in households 

 where the fire must 

 go for a long time 

 without attention, but 

 it is also useful in 

 large buildings where 

 interruption of the 

 janitor at his other 

 duties is undesirable. 

 On account of the sim- 

 plicity of its construc- 

 tion, the heater for 

 the private house can 

 be operated by a mere 

 novice and the fire kept 

 going continually with- 

 out employing a regular 

 "furnace man."
