Article 3
Captions: Photo 1: Jeff's Kitchen, aesthetics and function combine.
A kitchen area, with central island, blond cabinets, white walls, a green palm tree and dark gray carpeting, dark gray countertop. Overhead, a florescent light fixture, under the cabinet, an incandescent light shines down on a cooking surface. A built-in wall oven on the right, a refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, and two dark wood Early American type side chairs are also in the picture.

Photo 2: The perennial problem: how to hide the accessible disposal beneath the accessible sink.
A closer shot of the kitchen area reveals a sink and countertop range top with cabinetry below removed. A garbage disposal unit is visible below the sink; a dishwasher is to the left of the sink, and blond wood drawers are below the built-in oven. A straw basket of yellow bananas sits on the island countertop.

Photo 3: These shelves, they go up and down at the touch of a button.
A dimpled, smiling young man with wire-rimmed glasses and a moustache and goatee presses the "up" button below a wall-mounted cabinet. He wears blue jeans and a white turtle neck shirt, sleeves pushed up to the elbow.

Photo 4: The same man, still smiling, leans into a front-loading washer with a dark green garment in his hand. His other hand grasps the armrest of a black sports model wheelchair.

Photo 5: The same man, in a roll-in shower, throws his head back, mouth open, in mock ecstasy/agony as he mimes being hit by the cold spray from the shower above him. Three faucets, an adjustable bar for the shower plumbing, and a stainless steel flooring are in the shower. The floor space is apparently much larger than a standard shower stall, possibly 6' X 6'.

Beneath the text 'Why Pay Full Price? Cooperative Purchasing Makes Sense' are two cartoon style drawings. The one to the left is of two hands shaking with a giant dollar sign joining them at the elbow. The one to the right is of a coin doing loops before falling into the slot of a piggy bank.
