DISTINCTIVE HOMES 
OF MODERATE COST 
A Book for House Builders and Home Makers 
EDITED BY HENRY H. SAYLOR 
This book has been published in response to an ever-increasing demand for a vol¬ 
ume of pictures, plans and descriptions of the most charming homes in this country — 
not the great estates and show places, but the sort of places that most of us can look 
forward to building, ranging in cost from $3,000 to $20,000. 
The carefully selected contents includes country homes, seashore cottages, alluring 
bungalows, inexpensively remodeled farmhouses, etc. All the desirable architectural 
styles are represented. Chapters written by authorities coverall sides of the fascinating 
problem of house-building, interior decoration and furnishing. The relations between 
the home-builder and his architect, the matter of plans, specifications, contracts, the 
puzzling problem of extras and how to avoid them—all these subjects are clarified in a 
most comprehensive and interesting way. 
Distinctive Homes of Moderate Cost is the most complete and authoritative 
volume on the subject yet published. It is a sumptuous book, size 10 x 12 % inches, 
superbly printed on plate paper, tastefully bound. Price $2.00 net. By mail, postage, 
30 oents.

exteriors and interiors of residences, hotels, factories and 
mills; when applied on ceilings it does not drop off, thus 
preventing damage to delicate machinery. It is not af¬ 
fected by acids or smoke.

T OWN & COUNTRY, the illustrated weekly paper of the delights and 
pleasures of the Country, has realized the difficulty thousands of 
people have in locating a home or home-site to meet with their re¬ 
quirements. With the desire to make this paper better known to the real 
estate buying public, real estate agents and owners, the publishers have in¬ 
curred a large expense to render to the intelligent homeseeker a kind of 
assistance never before offered. They have had Mr. John H. Livingston, Jr., 
make a personal examination and investigation of New York’s suburbs, espe¬ 
cially the developments (there are 126 of them to our knowledge). The 
Town & Country Homeland Bureau 
in charge of Mr. Livingston has on file at our office complete data, including 
photos, time tables, and in addition the opinion of an expert. Our material 
is divided especially in reference to suburban New York, Westchester County, 
New Jersey, Connecticut, and Long Island. If you are seeking a home or 
home-site in any of these localities, and want the advice of our paper, the 
services of the Town & Country Homeland Bureau are at your disposal on 
the purchase of a copy of Town & Country, which is on sale at most news¬ 
stands, or a copy of our Ideal Homes issue, a special number, will be sent 
you on receipt of 25 cents in stamps ; each copy contains a 
REAL ESTATE INFORMATION BLANK 
for you to fill out. This Bureau does not sell or show properties, merely gives 
opinions and facts.
