Send 6 cents for a copy of “ 24 CRAFTSMAN HOUSES ” 
showing exterior and floor plans of 24 houses that cost from Jooo 
up to build. To interest you in our magazine, “THE CRAFTS¬ 
MAN,” our FREE HOUSE PLANS and in Craft articles, 
we will also send you a beautifully printed 32-page booklet en¬ 
titled “The Craftsman House.” If you are interested at all, 
both of these books will be very useful to you. 
“THE CRAFTSMAN IDEA” means real homes , not mere 
houses; it shows you how to 6ave money on useless partitions— 
how to avoid over-decoration, how to get wide sweeps of space 
(even in a small house), restful tones that match and blend—and 
enables anyone to always have a beautiful and artistic home. 
“THE CRAFTSMAN MAGAZINE” treats of building, 
furnishing and beautifying homes— of art—embroidery—cabinet 
work—and kindred topics. In the Magazine each month are pub¬ 
lished the plans of two new and entirely different houses. Already 
we have shown 125 houses, and you can have your own choice. 
“CRAFTSMAN HOMES,” by Gustav Stickley, 205 pages, 
beautifully bound and printed, treats of home building, home 
making, home furnishings in full.

Some Truths About 
Advertising 
Here is a symposium on the advantages of adver¬ 
tising in “The Philistine” and THE FRA; the same 
being penned with a due regard for truthfulness. 
“The Philistine” and THE FRA are edited by 
Elbert Hubbard. 
Their circulation is national and bona fide. They 
are read and passed along. 
1 hey go to a class of people who think and act for 
themselves, and who have the money and brains to 
discriminate in favor of good things. 
The Editor of “The Philistine” and THE FRA is 
perhaps the most widely quoted and the most positive 
torce in the literary and business world of today. 
Elbert Hubbard’s admirers and patrons form a dis¬ 
tinct class, who can be reached only through the me¬ 
dium of his publications. 
'While you may not agree with all you find in “The 
Philistine and THE FRA, there are thousands who 
clo, and who believe in the advertisements as well as 
in the writings of Fra Elbertus. 
The readers of “The Philistine” and THE FRA 
aie made up of all classes, from the millionaire who 
buys the choicest and costliest products of The Roy- 
croit Shop to those who treasure their one and two- 
dollar productions as their choicest and dearest bits 
0 , literature — hence anything good can be profitably 
advertised in these publications. 
No advertisement of a questionable nature will be 
accepted at any price. 
If you have anything to sell to reading thinking 
people, a better or more permanent method of placing 
yourself before them than advertising in “The Phil¬ 
istine” and THE FRA can not be found. 
Think it over—and let us have your contract before 
rates are advanced.

THOSE APPLES 
— Continued 
W E knew that we had the apples of “Top- 
sham Quality,” but we had a qualm or 
two about our ability to pack them in Western 
style. Now we wear a perpetual smile, for 
we know that we can do it. Harvard Uni¬ 
versity educated the foreman of the packing 
house, and did a good job, too. The New 
Hampshire College of Agriculture trained our 
packer of boxed fruit, and I only wish that 
you could see him at his work. Every apple 
that gets into the “Fancy” box is inspected 
three times, which means that every apple 
comes up to our standard of freedom from blemish 
and has good color. It is then wrapped and packed. 
You have seen the Oregon fruit. Ours looks like it, 
and tastes as only New England fruit can taste. We 
are so well pleased with it and with the orders that 
have come in, that we have made two changes. On 
October 15th, the price was raised and a new grade 
of boxed fruit introduced. 
Our Fancy grade we now sell for $3.00 per box, 
F. O. B. Bradford or South Ryegate. 
Our Number One grade, in boxes, will cost you 
$2.00, F. O. B. We will continue to ship Number Ones in barrels to those who 
wish them, and will put them on the railroad for $4.50.

Express to New York on one box is about sixty cents, freight somewhat less. 
FAMEUSE. — Early comers can yet secure a few Fameuse, but our supply of 
McIntosh Red is exhausted. 
BETHEL. — This is the winter apple that we want you to try. We believe that 
you will like it, and we KNOW that you will like the way it is put up. The bright sun¬ 
shine and the early frosts have given it a color and a crispness of taste that will make 
you forget the cares of the day. Try a box of the Fancy or the Number One and we 
will be sure of a customer next year. 
We ask for a check with your order, and feel sure that you will he glad that you didn’t 
forget to send for a box of our apples.
