Variety Of Closets
Need Of Efficiently
Conducted Home
Partitions Will Help
Solve Problem in
Older Residences

The daily complaint of many
household managers is: mot enough
closet space" To the person who
has the regular. everyday chore of
keeping things in their places
out of sight, yet easily accessible
few houses, especially older ones,
have enough organized storage
space,
Dead storage" the kind of space
under the caves in the attic where
you keep the inherited heirlooms
and old trunks, usually can be found.
The real problem lies in making
handy disposition of the things you
have to use frequently.
IF you are planning a new home,
give serious thought not only to the
number and size of closets, but also
to their strategic location. While
YOU are planning closets, you might
as we'll go all the way and plan
their interior arrangements so that
each will best serve its intended
purpose.
Types Oh y IOSCtS NCCuCus
Here are a few suggestions of the
types of closets needed in most
Households and their arrangement:
Certainly closet for food storage
is important, with shelves In the
upper portion for canned goods and
other imperishables, and bins for
potatoes. apples and the like below.
An efficient arrangement of the
linen closet places shelves for blan-
kets at the top. for sheets, towels
and pillowcases below. and space at
the b0ttom for a soiled clothes ham
per.
A cedar storage cabinet for win
Ter clothing in summer and summer
clothing in winter can be placed in
the attic or at the unused end of a
hall, as access to 1t is not frequent.
A general storage cabinet in or
near the kitchen. with shelves and
partitions of varying sizes to accom-
modate extra large kitchen equip
ment. such as roasters, preserve ket-
ties, soap supplies and so forth.
Cleaning Equipment.
Another storage cabinet, high and
narrow, for cleaning equipment
the vacuum, brooms and what not
keeps those none too slightly items
out from under foot.
A closet for mems clothing can be
80 constructed with built-in drawers,
a rack for shoes, hanger rod for
suits and coats, and hat compart-
ments, that the lord of the manor
will neither need nor demand bu-
reau, which will simplify the fur
nishing and arrangement of the bed
room by that much.
Likewise a child's closet can be
arranged with a place for every
thing within child's reach, an en-
couragement to neatness.
If you already have a home in
which closet space Is lacking, why
not partition off some of the space
that is not being used in the larger
rooms? Your local lumber dealer
will help with suggestions and esti-
mate costs.
