Description: The kitchens in the federal government's small farm homestead project at El Monte are planned to save the housewives steps and energies. Like the assembly line in a factory, the kitchen arrangement provides for the preparation of food with the least bother. The photo shows Arline Chewning at the sink of a kitchen in a home on August 1, 1935. The drainboard is of wood, to save crockery breakage.
