Hoosier/Baker's Cabinets Including yet not limited to, Hoosiers-Sellers-Napanee-McDougalls-Napanee-Boones-Etc. A Baker’s Cabinet has loosely been refered to as a Hoosier cabinet due to the large number sold by “The Hoosier Manufacturing Company” in the 1900’s. Originally a typical baker’s cabinet would consist of a table with drawers, bins for flour, potatos, spices, cereal, or meal. The upper shelfs would include areas for baked pies to cool off, dishes, baking supplies, or utensils. Some models contained glass doors, fold out ironing boards, pie coolers, clocks, cardboard incripted oven temperature charts, and numerious baking recipes. In the Midwest Ohio region, around the turn of the century, a few small furniture companies began to mass produce these free standing kitchen cabinets, turning the average kitchen into the so called modern age. They were every wifes dream for her kitchen.
