These very typical cabinets come from Hubeney Brothers, Inc., of Roselle, NJ. Based on the stoves and refrigerators pictured, I date the brochure at 1948-1950.
The brochure says that the company has been in business for 30 years and is a pioneer in the manufacture of steel kitchen cabinets. It points to supplying a number of larger developments, including 1634 complete kitchens in Knickerbocker Village in NYC (as early ast 1932). At the time of the brochure, they are working on 2,890 kitchens for the Langley and Willston Projects near Washington, D.C.
An internet search finds little trace of the company, which is presumably defunct. The last mention of them was from around 1967, a lawsuit. That - plus the great decline in steel cabinetry by then - could well have been their death knell.
