peared in a recent magazine
about kitchen which a man
undertook to develop and run after a
mans ideas. 1t was a very funny story,
but the point-and he was right-was
that most Of our equipment in the kitcn-
en- Is unrelated. and that we do not
interrelate our tasks. That is, we may
nave an excellent crater or a bea,er
or chopper. but they are all made
oy different concerns Of different ma
terials, and work after different princi-
pies Now a man comes along, takes
the same crater and beater and chop
per and makes them all part Of one
system. just as he docs with the ma
chinery and tools In his factory. lie
has them all OF the same material and
operated by the same system OF cur
rent or betting
1t Is not possible for us yet to approx
imate mans ideals of machinery in our
own Kitchens; nevertheless, we can
choose our equipment and relate 1t with
moro uniformity. How few OF us buy
utensils of the same finish. We buy a
