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 cylnother 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. 

 (]( 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. 



Q The total yearly cost for a page ad. in each publication 

 every month for a year is only $1,194. 

 Q We also help you plan and prepare your Copy. 

 Q If you are interested, write for details, sample copies, 

 rate cards, etc.

Cottage Designs 



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

 most complete collection 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.

IN response to many requests of both new and old 

 subscribers we have caused a beautiful design to be pre- 

 pared and expensive register dies cut so as to produce a 

 most artistic cover. The beautiful green cloth is most sub- 

 stantial, and the book is sewn by hand to give the necessary 

 strength for so heavy a volume. 



Q The decoration of the cover 

 is unique. There are five colors 

 of imported composition leaf 

 and inks, artistically blended. It 

 is hardly possible to give an 

 idea of this beautiful cover. 

 The top edges of the book are 

 gilded.
