Home Conveniences Placed on Exhibit For Farm Women

Daily Illini January 24, 1924

"Why- stop to wash dishes?" -"It is not lazy to sit down while washing dishes.". "Human energy is too valuable to be expended on poor laundry equipment." —"Let the dishes drain themselves and save 30 to 45 minutes a day for you." —"This icebox has an economic value —ice on the farm isn't impossible."

There arc a few of the placards put up in the farm and home bureau exhibit of working equipment for the farm home. A high sink eliminates the stooping from dishwashing while a stool makes it possible to sit down. A wire drain for dishes, an ice box, a compression cooker, a fireless cooker, folding racks for tubs, a power washing machine, all arranged in a way to economize on space, footsteps and work tell their own story clearly and effectively.

Artistic furnishing of a dining room, and two studies in draperies, upholstery, rugs, pictures and pottery complete a most interesting and worth-while exhibit.
