  First 
  Talk 
  to 
  Building 
  

   Material 
  Manufacturers 
  

  

  VERY 
  Manufacturer 
  of 
  Building 
  Materials 
  should 
  

   advertise 
  his 
  product 
  to 
  four 
  classes 
  of 
  people 
  : 
  

  

  1 
  — 
  Those 
  who 
  are 
  actually 
  building 
  or 
  about 
  

  

  to 
  build, 
  especially 
  Home 
  Builders 
  

   2— 
  The 
  Architects 
  

  

  3 
  — 
  The 
  Local 
  Builders 
  and 
  Contractors 
  

   4— 
  The 
  "Dealers" 
  

  

  Q 
  The 
  quickest, 
  easiest 
  and 
  only 
  sure 
  way 
  to 
  reach 
  the 
  

   first 
  class 
  is 
  to 
  use 
  publications 
  like 
  Country 
  Life 
  in 
  

   America, 
  Suburban 
  Life, 
  American 
  Homes 
  and 
  Gardens, 
  

   and 
  Keith's 
  Magazine 
  — 
  and 
  no 
  Building 
  Material 
  Manu- 
  

   facturer 
  who 
  makes 
  a 
  product 
  that 
  is 
  or 
  should 
  be 
  in 
  

   homes 
  costing 
  from 
  $2000 
  to 
  $10,000 
  can 
  afford 
  not 
  to 
  use 
  

   Keith's 
  Magazine, 
  because 
  Keith's 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  magazine 
  

   on 
  " 
  Home 
  Building 
  " 
  which 
  makes 
  a 
  specialty 
  of 
  homes 
  

   costing 
  from 
  $2000 
  to 
  $10,000. 
  

  

  Q 
  ^Another 
  point 
  is 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  absolutely 
  no 
  waste 
  in 
  

   the 
  10,000 
  monthly 
  circulation 
  of 
  Keith's 
  Magazine; 
  every 
  

   copy 
  goes 
  to 
  an 
  actual 
  prospective 
  Home 
  Builder. 
  The 
  

   advertising 
  rate 
  is 
  very 
  low 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  the 
  character 
  

   and 
  quantity 
  of 
  circulation 
  — 
  only 
  $60 
  per 
  page 
  per 
  issue. 
  

   Q 
  The 
  Journal 
  of 
  Modern 
  Construction 
  is 
  an 
  equally 
  

   unique 
  medium 
  for 
  advertising 
  Building 
  Materials 
  on 
  a 
  

   national 
  scale 
  to 
  the 
  2d, 
  3d 
  and 
  4th 
  classes 
  — 
  the 
  Archi- 
  

   tects, 
  Builders 
  and 
  Contractors, 
  and 
  the 
  Dealers 
  — 
  and 
  no 
  

   Building 
  Material 
  Manufacturer 
  can 
  afford 
  to 
  leave 
  it 
  off 
  

   his 
  list, 
  because 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  technical 
  monthly 
  publica- 
  

   tion 
  that 
  is 
  exclusively 
  devoted 
  to 
  Building 
  Materials 
  and 
  

   Methods 
  and 
  edited 
  for 
  the 
  particular 
  benefit 
  of 
  this 
  class 
  

   of 
  readers. 
  The 
  circulation 
  averages 
  7500 
  copies 
  per 
  

   month. 
  Advertising 
  rates, 
  $50 
  per 
  page, 
  with 
  a 
  liberal 
  

   scale 
  of 
  discounts. 
  

  

  Q 
  For 
  these 
  reasons 
  Keith's 
  Magazine 
  and 
  Journal 
  of 
  

   Modern 
  Construction 
  enable 
  any 
  Building 
  Material 
  Man- 
  

   ufacturer 
  not 
  only 
  to 
  reach 
  the 
  actual 
  Home 
  Builders 
  of 
  

   the 
  country 
  and 
  so 
  create 
  and 
  stimulate 
  the 
  demand 
  for 
  

   his 
  products, 
  but 
  also 
  to 
  reach 
  the 
  leading 
  Architects, 
  

   Builders 
  and 
  Dealers 
  of 
  the 
  country 
  and, 
  in 
  this 
  way, 
  

   to 
  show 
  them 
  how 
  and 
  why 
  they 
  should 
  supply 
  this 
  

   demand.

  THESE 
  books 
  offer 
  to 
  architects, 
  builders, 
  homeseekers 
  and 
  investors 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  

   most 
  complete

  of 
  plans 
  ever 
  brought 
  out, 
  while 
  the 
  price 
  is 
  so 
  

   low 
  as 
  to 
  place 
  them 
  within 
  the 
  reach 
  of 
  all 
  who 
  have 
  an 
  interest 
  in 
  the 
  

   building 
  of 
  homes. 
  The 
  designs 
  are 
  compiled 
  with 
  a 
  view 
  to 
  representing 
  all 
  grades 
  

   of 
  cost, 
  from 
  the 
  simplest 
  types 
  of 
  cottages, 
  as 
  illustrated 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  series, 
  to 
  the 
  

   comparatively 
  elaborate 
  structures 
  reaching 
  to 
  $10,000 
  or 
  more, 
  in 
  cost, 
  treated 
  in 
  the 
  

   fourth 
  series, 
  so 
  that 
  examples 
  are 
  given 
  covering 
  nearly 
  every 
  requirement, 
  with 
  

   respect 
  to 
  cost, 
  in 
  inexpensive 
  homes.
