Scope and content
A model kitchen is shown at Washington Hardware Company. Washington Hardware created attractive patterns for kitchen cabinets, kept their designing up to date, with the line expanding to include many other articles of usefulness and convenience such as spice racks, lid holders to fit backs of doors and enameled food drawers for flour, sugar, and pastries. Some of the cupboard doors are open to show the efficient storage systems built into these new designs. C.M. Johnson began designing kitchen hardware and convenient accessories while he worked at Washington Hardware. His designs won the Good Design Award from the Museum of Modern Art February 1951 while he worked with Washington Steel which was founded in 1945. (TNT, 2/14/1941)
