Important to Those 
Who Expect to Build 
When planning to build, you will find it of 
great value to first make a careful personal study 
of the illustrations of houses, etc., that have been 
designed and built by a number of leading archi¬ 
tects, and to also learn tlieir ideas regarding the 
best interior arrangement and the most appro¬ 
priate furnishings. 
This important information, which would great¬ 
ly aid you in deciding about your own building 
plans, when you take them up with your own 
architect and builder, can easily be obtained from 
the several hundred exterior and interior, designs 
that are beautifully illustrated in the last six num¬ 
bers of the 
The National Magazine forArchitects, Owners and Build¬ 
ers. A Powerful Business-Producer for those firms whose 
products are used in building-construction or equip¬ 
ment. Guaranteed circulation exceeds 10,000 monthly. 
In these six numbers are also illustrated and described the 
numerous building specialties that add very much to the comfort, 
convenience and value of the modern home, without materially 
increasing the initial cost; and this information may mean the 
saving of many dollars to you.

IN OBER-AMMERGAU 
An every-day scene in one of the streets of Ober-Ammergau, the home of the Passion- Play. The towns¬ 
people are wood carvers and the ox carts seen are bringing in billets for fashioning into, various articles. 
The Chalet with roof weighted with stones is typical of the homes in this mountainous region. Let Travel 
bring you on fascinating journeys to such quaint places as this 
A Magazine that Takes You There 
T HERE is no place that you will not visit, there are no people whom you will 
not know if you read Travel. You go everywhere, seeing the world as 
though you were actually traveling. Not only will this keenest of pleasures 
be yours, hut you will get the breadth of culture and a knowledge of the world 
that only travel can bring. In fact you will have greater advantages for seeing 
the interesting and important things than if you were actually touring, because 
in a decade of journeying you could not see the places and people that you will 
visit through Travel in a single year. Moreover, you are brought into out-of- 
the-way places that are not on the itinerary of the ordinary traveler. If you 
read Travel you become a citizen of the world — a thorough cosmopolitan. 
THE VARIETY One of the delightful things about Travel is its variety of contents. 
OF TRAVFI A single issue may take you on a coaching trip through the 
ik. * charming Devonshire Country in England and at the same time 
bring you on a visit to the Veddas of Ceylon, those fast dwindling aborigines of 
this storied isle. In the same number you might steam up the Rhine, viewing its 
castles famous the world over and drop in at Siam and traverse the land of the elephant. 
And wherever you go you are charmed with your trip — you see the people, you ramble 
over the country and see all that is interesting and worth while. The places and 
people live for you. 
In entertainment and educational advantages, no magazine in the country can 
compare with Travel. To the man or woman of breadth, it is as necessary as anything 
that contributes to culture and refinement.
