This book is for anyone who owns a "Hoosier" cabinet, is trying to find one, or is planning to restore one. It is about the kitchen cabinets sold from the turn of the century to the 1930s and the companies that made them. The major brands of kitchen cabinets covered in this book include: Hoosier, Sellers, Napanee, McDougall, and Boone.

Many old magazine advertisements for kitchen cabinets are included in this book, some dating back to 1905. These advertisements can prove invaluable when attempting to identify or date old cabinets. There are also many photographs of restored antique Hoosier cabinets that will help you to identify old Hoosier kitchen cabinets.

The final section of this book is about restoring old kitchen cabinets. It tells you how to strip, repair, and refinish "Hoosier" cabinets. Many of the tips and techniques we have learned while restoring Hoosier and other brands of cabinets are included.
