“ THE CRAFTS3IAN IDEA” means REAL HOMES,

wide sweeps of space (even in a small house), restful tones 
that match and blend—and enables anyone always to have 
a beautiful and artistic home. 
“THE CRAFTSMAN MAGAZINE” treats of building, 
furnishing and beautifjdng homes—of art—embroidery-- 
cabinet work—and kindred topics. In the Magazine each 
month are published the plans of two new and entirely 
different houses. Already we have shown 130 houses, and 
you can have your own choice of them.
