in the Wright household by a bathroom 

 containing two wash sinks complete with 

 mirrors so the four children won't get 

 in each other's way. 



Discarded clothing is dropped through 

 a hole in the floor of an interconnecting 

 closet and falls into an enclosed com- 

 partment near the laundry to await wash 

 day. 



Sticking to the science of kitchen lay- 

 out as proved by the University of Illi- 

 nois home economics department, Mrs. 

 Wright has one of the most convenient 

 and up-to-date kitchens in the state. 



Food bins and compartments for pans, 

 dishes, and cutlery are laid out within 

 easy reach with stove, sink, and refrigera- 

 tor set out on a plan designed to cut 

 down unnecessary walking. 



Down in the basement is room for a 



future play room, an extra bedroom, a 

 storage room for canned goods, a laun- 

 dry and space for storage of miscellane- 

 ous articles. The stoker feeder extends 

 into the coal bin so that it is generally 

 buried by coal thus eliminating the coal 

 shoveling chore for Farm Adviser 

 Wright. 



Wright will be a handy man to have 

 around when the construction of the 

 county's new Farm Bureau building gets 

 under way. 



Besides, a building boom is expected 

 soon in the county and you can bet 

 farmers getting ready to build or re- 

 model will know where to look for solu- 

 tions to some of their problems. 



From experience, their farm adviser 

 knows a great many of the answers.
