to an ideal kitchen, the last word in
convenience and utility.
“We have made exhaustive tests,”
said an official today. “We have found
that the average distance traveled by
a housewife in an old-style kitehen is
seven miles per day. That is because
the stove is in one corner, the sink in
another, the flour bin in a third and the
coal scuttle in the fourth, with pepper
and salt and lard scattered over 40
shelves in 40 places. Our kitchen is a
marvel of compactness. It makes a
Pullman dining car outfit look like a
horrible example. A housewife can pre
pare three ordinary’ meals of several
courses each in our kitchen and walk
only three miles a day, or a mile to a
meal. Come and prove it tor your
self."
Louis Statz, of New York, secretary
of the National Commercial Gas as
sociation, arrived in Atlanta today to
assist in arrangements for the exposi
tion in the Auditorium. Every gas com
pany and manufacturer of gas appli
