7 SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 3C - FRIDAY, MARCH It. 1*78 Cupboards Coming Out Of The Kitchen The cupboard is coming out of the kitchen. It's moving into the living room, dining room, master bedroom, children's rooms, family room. den. The move is on because the cupboard is no longer a cup­ board. it's a cabinet. About 99 per cent of the time it's a built- in. not a free-standing unit, and it's furniture, embodying the same characteristics of style and finish as furniture for any other room of the home. No longer is your choice con­ fined to colonial, contempo­ rary. mediterranean or pro­ vincial : you can have most any exterior styling your eye finds appealing, be it Oriental or Alpine! And inside, manufac­ turers offer all kinds of options to organize storage: revolving racks, roll-out shelves and trays, vertical dividers, drawer dividers, letter files, food files, wine racks, can racks, cutting boards, towel bars. What makes these and other fittings good for the kitchen -- the fact that what was once fixed is now flexible -- makes them useful in other rooms, too. And the same people who plan cabinetry for kitchens plan it for these other rooms. Many of the country 's space specialists" are members of the American Institute of Kitchen Dealers, who operate as inde­ pendent retailers or are affili­ ated with a lumber yard, or an appliance or home center. These professionals are equipped to plan and install, or to plan the cabinetry and let you install it. From AIKD members come these beyond-the-kitchen storage suggestions. Master Bedroom: Transform a sleeping room into a 24-hour- a-day room by building in niches for stereo and TV; night- stands with bookshelves above. Install a small refrigerator for midnight snacks, in a cabinet that by day is a desk. Combine base cabinets into a double or triple dresser, with drawers of different depths and a can rack on the back of one door for cosmetics. Store sweaters on roll-out shelves; in a broom cabinet, hang coats and long dresses. Library or Den: Use cabinets and shelves to contain books of all sizes and to keep paperwork in place; to house stereo equip­ ment, television set, tapes and tape deck; to store and keep records .at hand. Build in a desk with a letter file above; a bar with roll-out bottle shelf, wine rack, and a refrigerator that looks like any other cabinet with the door closed. Display golf or bowling trophies behind sliding glass doors in a cabinet with shelves spaced to their dimensions Family or Hobby Room: Use a mixer lift as the base for a save *160 Gilson* 11 hp Lawn Tractors 42" full floating mower. regularly priced $1259.95 Now $1090.96 36" full floating mower. regularly priced $1159.95 save $40 J Gilson* 5 hp Power Tiller i Gear drive with power * reverse, regularly { priced $339.95 I Now $299.99 I l I I Gilson* 2 hp Compact Tiller Gear drive with fold-down handle. regularly priced $199.95 ' Now $174.95 See your Gilson Dealer today tor big dollar savings and great value.

Child's Room: End chaos with cabinets for records, pic­ tures, toys and games, and the various oddments that children collect -- from stamps to stuffed animals. Consider roll-outs for clothes and collectibles: they're more fun than conventional drawers, and more convenient. Consider, too. a bulletin board, a letter file, a desk that "grows" via ad­ justable shelves. Laundry Utility Room: With cabinets, create a sewing cen­ ter, where the sewing machine disappears when not in use; a ' mail room", with a letter file and drawers for ribbons and package wraps; a potting shed, with roll-out and revolving shelves for lawn and garden supplies. Have a drop-down ironing board that hides behind its own door; a corner carrousel for soaps and detergents; a tall cabinet for brooms, mops, floor polisher, vacuum. These are just a few of many ways that professionals "find" space and use it all over the house, in cabinets that no longer are cupboards. • • • * Intelligent optimism is based on a long-range viewpoint and pessimism is usually generated by a short-range view. Now that cupboards are cabinets, they're useful in every room. A member of the American Institute of Kitchen Dealers designed this bedroom storage wall with kitchen cabinetry including roll-out drawers, and adjustable shelves. How to get the most from air conditioning Scan your daily newspaper and it becomes apparent from the many cooling ads that it's time once again to consider air conditioning for your home.

S i m p l y f o l l o w t h e s e common-sense suggestions offered by the General Elec­ tric Company. One: Consider the advan­ tages of central air condition­ ing first, as it wiU not only provide more uniform com­ fort than several large room units but also could increase the value and saleability of your home. Installing whole-house central cooling often may cost less than you antici­ pated, particularly if you have a forced-air furnace with adequate existing duct­ work to circulate the cool air. Adding on to an existing central heating system is the most common and, fre­ quently, the least expensive way to centrally air condition a home. Two: Compare capacity, cost and convenience. GE's three distinct lines provide a variety of central air condi­ tioning systems to fit most homes or pocketbooks. The "Executive" series comes in 30,000- to 61,000- BTUH cooling capacities. According to the Air Condi­ tioning and Refrigeration In­ stitute Directory, this series, using an "A"-type cooling coil, is both the quietest out­ side and most economical operating of GE's central air conditioners in these ratings. The "Deluxe" series with seven models rated 23,000- to 69,000-BTUH features au­ tomatic two-speed fans for quiet operation. For the budget-minded, there is the seven-model "Ambassador" series in 12,000- to 49,000- BTUH capacities.
