Not A Pantry

Don't think the Hoosier is only a.
pantry. 1t is not. 1t combines a
pantry, a cupboard and a large kitch-
en- workable all in one.
Some wOmen think a pantry and a
cupboard give all the convenience
they need, but you who have them
know that you must walk ~endleNsly
back and forth in preparing meals
and cleaning up afterwards. The
Hoosier saves you all those miles
of steps.

There's many a slip twixt the

In fact, according to the De-

means a loss of about S3,3S0,000

More than 100000 dozen
