SHE HAS been investigated and found wanted : by peeping Thomasinas,* who peek Thru the Kitchen Windoxo five AMs a week; by a vocational counsellor, who told her to quit her anonymous menu-planning and get in there and sell ; by the Army Quartermaster Corps, who investigated her palate and gave her 100% in tasting; and by advertisers who . . . but whoa, it's too early for the commercial.
Aside from the fact that any fool could take one look and give Irene Lindgren 100% in taste, the QM was real perspicacious. Our Irene was serving at the time on the Food Testing Panel of the National Restaurant Association, which was Building Morale for the U. S.

This was in 1952, and our palates never had it so good, to say nothing of same for our viewer-eaters. When a Hoosier homemaker walks into her favorite store after a session with Thru the Kitchen Window she knows what product to buy. She knows what it looks like, what it will do, and how to fix it. She saw Irene Lindgren use it on tv — or heard her talk about it on her daily radio show, Kitchen of the Air.
