sheathing. This refrigerator is 

 the largest in the group and con- 

 tains much more storage space 

 than is used. It may be seen 

 in Fig. 3 that the lower compart- 

 ments are only partially filled, 

 and some are articles which do 

 not require refrigeration. Ac- 

 cording to the housewife, the 

 storage space could be reduced 

 to 20 cubic feet of total content, 

 or 10 cubic feet of storage space 

 and 9 square feet of shelf space, 

 and meet all the needs of the 

 famil3\ 



The working pantry is 13 feet 

 long and 8V2 feet wide and re- 

 sembles the kitchen on Farm 

 No. 1 in that it receives heat in- 

 directly from the kitchen and 

 dining room. Therefore, average 

 household temperatures pre- 

 vailed. The family did not con- 

 sider the lack of trays for ice 

 cubes a disadvantage.

 might be.
