Our 57th Competition

We offer a prize of £l/1/-, and a second prize of 10/6 for the two designs adjudged to be the best for — A Model Kitchen The kitchen is to be suitable for a five or six roomed cottage. It is to have an area of about 150 square feet, exclusive of space taken up by the fireplace. The plan to show the arrangement of the scullery and the pantry in relation to the kitchen, and also the position of the door leading to the dining room. All fittings and furniture are to be shown. The drawings are to comprise one plan and four interior elevations, all to the scale of 4 inch to 1 foot. Mr. Leslie D. Coombs, A.R.1.8.A. of Dunedin will adjudicate, and the drawings will be submitted to three different ladies for their independent decisions as to the workability of the kitchen from the point of view of convenience. The main object of this competition is to see what attention competitors give to the practical side of the arrangements of a small kitchen which has to be worked by a busy woman who has no assistant —a common experience in these times. Designs must be sent in finished as above, under a nom-de-plume addressed to "Progress,” 8 Parish Street, Wellington, and marked clearly “Fifty-seventh Competition” on outside with a covering letter giving competitor’s name, and address of employer. Designs to be sent in by October 21st.
