 zine, the great periodical for home-makers, home-lovers, 

 home-builders and every one else in the home. 



In presenting the book free of charge with the magazine, 

 we are not giving something for nothing. We are acting 

 on a sound business principle established by experience. 

 The principle is this: 



EXTRAORDINARY value may be offered with the 

 FIRST year's subscription to The Home Magazine, 

 because NEW subscribers almost invariably become OLD 

 ones. 



Ths Home Magazine HOLDS the friends it makes. 



YOU never saw a publication just like the Home 

 Magazine. There is none. It is unique among 

 magazines, with a place all its own. 

 There are many good magazines, — women's publications, 

 the young people's magazines, periodicals for children, mag- 

 azines for men, and all kinds of scientific, religious and 

 literary publications. — 



— But there is but ONE high grade magazine edited and 

 published EXCLUSIVELY in the interest of the home. 

 The Home Magazine is issued monthly. 

 Feature articles of peculiar charm and vitality appear in 

 each number. Master writers of Fiction contribute fascinat- 

 ing stories of Love, Romance, Mystery and Adventure. 



Among the famous artists 

 whose work is to be found in 

 the Home Magazine are Howard 

 Chandler Christy, Harrison Fisher, 

 A.I. Keller, John Cecil Clay, H . C. 

 Wall, George Brehm and Worth Brehm. These names tell 

 their own story ! * * * 



EXPERIENCED men and women of proved ability 

 conduct departments which cover every interest that 

 centers in the home. 

 Landscape and Flower Gardening is covered each month 

 by Mr. Eben Rexford, author of Home Floriculture, etc. 

 Mr. Charles S. Sedgwick, the eminent architect, con- 

 tributes practical plans for home building. 



The department of Hens and Chickens is under the 

 management of Miller Purvis, editor of the well-known 

 magazine, Poultry.
