HOUSE & GARDEN 
The Unique Home 
T HIS age has rightly 
been called the triumph 
of individuality. 
Nowhere is this modern 
spirit of personal independ¬ 
ence more marked than in 
the home, its architecture, 
decorations and furnishings. 
People are refusing to live in in¬ 
distinguishable rows of semi-de¬ 
tached villas, and asserting the 
right to express in their surround¬ 
ings their peculiar tastes, aspira¬ 
tions and interests. 
The next issue—that for Novem¬ 
ber—is designed for those who 
want their homes to be something 
more than four walls with a roof 
on top. 
The House Planning Number 
You will find a complete catalog. 
Nothing is forgotten. It shows 
well-chosen examples of how your 
home may be made charming, prac¬ 
tical and pleasing. In fact, each 
article and picture is selected as 
if especially for you—with a view 
to beautifying vour borne and se¬ 
curing more comfort. You need 
this November number. Moreover, 
it is an excellent example of the 
kind of magazine you may expect 
each month. 
A small investment of $3 for a 
yearly subscription (twelve ex¬ 
ceptional numbers) may save you 
$300, or even $3,000 or more. 
Because of House & Garden’s 
many valuable suggestions on 
building, which are pi actical; on 
gardening, which please, and on 
decorating and furnishing, which 
harmonize and make your home 
more attractive—you cannot well 
afford to be without this useful 
guide.

An Unusual Offer 
T IME was when plan¬ 
ning one’s home was 
easy enough -— an im¬ 
portant matter, to be sure, 
but plain sailing for the mer¬ 
est beginner. 
That time is no more. A hun¬ 
dred perplexing questions confront 
every homemaker — questions of 
convenience, sanitation and esthet¬ 
ics that our simpler and less for¬ 
tunate forefathers never dreamed 
of. 
In a realization of the trouble¬ 
some difficulties which many of 
these problems present, we estab¬ 
lished a bureau of reference, which 
has become known as the Informa¬ 
tion Service. 
While this information costs noth¬ 
ing, yet it may save you hundreds 
of dollars. After all, the tilings 
you buy and grow tired of, or 
never use at all, are really the 
most expensive. 
Your Problems Answered 
We have found a way to supply all 
your wants. Without expense you 
can secure information on any of 
tlie subjects indicated in the cou¬ 
pon below or others that you may 
select. 
Check the subjects that interest 
you. Others will suggest them¬ 
selves. We can supply all your 
needs, not only relating to build¬ 
ing and furnishing, but in regard 
to all phases of decorating, re¬ 
modeling, repairing, gardening, 
poultry, garages, autos, dogs, real 
estate, etc.—in fact, everything 
pertaining to the subject of the 
home and its surroundings and 
their care. 
Our only consideration is that you 
are sincere in your desire for in¬ 
formation—that you will advise us 
whether the service supplies your 
wants and meets all your require¬ 
ments. 
Send the Coupon 
You may enclose the coupon below 
in an envelope, or paste it on a postal. 
Or, if you prefer, you may write a 
special letter. 
We will see that you are supplied 
with the kind of information that may 
possibly save you many dollars—sure¬ 
ly time and energy, perhaps ill spent.
