Automatic Cooking *62 Range Gives Efficiency To Old-Fashioned Kitchen

An effective yet easy way to improve both the appearance and efficiency of a kitchen is to replace an out-dated range with a modem, electric free-standing model It’s effective because today’s free-standing electric ranges are packed with work-saving conveniences. It’s easy because it’s no problem at all to choose a new free-standing electric range to fit the space occupied by the old one, and no plumber is needed to install it Free-standing electric ranges are manufactured in sizes ranging from 18 to 42 inches wide. A new electric range can add to the beauty and efficiency of a kitchen because virtually all of today’s models are designed to look built-in, and are equipped with many new, automatic fea(RFCS. The "one-piece built-in,” for .xample, is very closely related to the standard free-standing electric range. It doesn’t require ihe permanent installation of the two-piece built-in, but is designed to “drop .in” between standard storage cabinets and line up neatly with them, resting on a low recessed toe ■ moulding. Special trim is used to tie in range with cabinets and counter tops. A range of this type can be moved with little trouble to a new location.

1 W ■ I®*' ; -W .... .M This easy-to-moye free-stand-ing electric range has extra-big oven with windew in oven door. A first cousin to the basic freestanding range is the new “highoven” type. Distinguishing features include single or double ovens always at convenient eyelevel height, doors that open up or swing out—not down. A single power connection is needed for this one-piece unit. It needs no cabinet work other than the base cabinet on which it aits. It can also be hung on a wall with no cabinet below.

IM ONE COAT OF DEFT AEROSOL spray effectively seals porous surfaces including the motor on such materials as flagstone, brick, slate and fieldstone thus permitting a quick cleaning with vacuum or duster.

YOUR HOME. New Faucet Offers Homeowners “Free Hiud” I The Push-Pull faucet, which has a single knob to regulate water flow and temperature, offers homeowners a handy device as well as a free hand when washing, bathing and showering.

Bathroom Fix-Up Rates Top Priority “If a homeowner must decide between a new patio or a new powder room, you can be sure he’ll choose the plumbing; if the choice is between installing built-ins or modernizing his bathroom — again plumbing will win,” says Normaq of the Kohler Ca., one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of plumbing fixtures. Modern - styled bathroom fixtures that combine beauty and convenience are tops in home modernization plans. It is recognized today. that the bathroom and the powder room are what might be called “hardwear” areas.

For this reason, careful selection of the fixtures and of the wall and floor materials is important. Quality is important in everything from the switch plate on the wall, to the to-be-installed new acid-resisting bathtub. Color still dominates the bathroorri scene. A recent national survey indicates that pink, light blue, light green, tan, yellow and gray are all popular bathroom colors. The vanity lavatory, or “vanitory” as it is now called, should be the center of interest in every modernized bathroom or powder room. Not only is it a very beautiful fixture which enhances the appearance of the bathroom and powder room, but it has many

The down - flo circulation of air keeps the room uniformly heated from floor to ceiling, making your cottage floors comfortable for unshod summer feet.
