AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS

THE HIGHEST TYPE OF MAGAZINE MAKING A MONTHLY DEVOTED TO THE HOME AND COUNTRY LIFE

THIS publication appeals to every one who has a country place or is thinking of building one, and to those who love country life. It claims the attention of all members of the family, including the women of the household, because of its practical suggestions in regard to the house, its decoration, the arrangement of furniture, the garden and how it can best be laid out.

Besides articles of a utilitarian character, many others are published which stamp "American Homes and Gardens" as the magazine of country life and nature. The articles on houses are particularly important. The illustrations are made from houses which have been adtually constructed, and represent the most advanced types of the modern American Home.

Each number contains an illustrated account of a personal visit to some noted mansion. These articles are accompanied by floor plans drawn to scale. Each number has a three-color process cover which changes with each month. The broad character of the publication accounts for the great popularity which it has attained in a comparatively short time. Each issue is beautifully printed on coated paper, contains seventy-two pages, and measures 10 1/2x1 4 inches. The subscription price is $3.00 a year; single numbers 25 cents.
