“Domestic Science” Designs a Salad Fork
In collaboration with the engineers of the Good Housekeeping Institute, Oneida Community, Ltd., designers have originated “Today’s Salad Fork,” the result of a scientific examination of this important eating implement, and the careful planning of a fork which embodies several new utility features. Improvements regarded as important by Oneida include (1) tines of greater strength, (2) a stiffer cutting tine equipped with a cutting edge, (3) a careful adjustment of handle length, to provide proper leverage, and (4) well-designed contour from handle tip to end of tines sufficiently flattened to permit straightline pressure, as in a knife. The new Tudor salad fork is available in Madelon, June, Barbara and Skyline designs. Oneida advertising plans for spring include mass coverage magazines aggregating fifteen million circulation, featuring a four for $1 salad fork offer. Other copy will present generally the Tudor patterns, with strong price appeal.
