THE ANTIQUE COLLECTORS’ NUMBER 
W HAT is an antique? 
Why collect antiques? 
Why collect at all? 
If you ever stop to think of it, each of us is a 
collector after a fashion, only some folks take 
it harder than others and make it a hobby. 
And a good hobby it is, for it gives an interest 
other than the humdrum of everyday work. 
House & Garden has been running articles 
of interest to collectors for three years or more, 
but August is the first issue it has devoted to 
that subject. 
August and the other “summer months, in¬ 
cidentally, are good months for collecting both 
in the country and in the city. Of course, there 
is no special time for taking up this hobby. 
Rather, it takes you! And whether you spe¬ 
cialize on old chairs or stamps, Japanese inros 
or Colonial samplers, the joy of the search and 
the satisfaction of ownership will be the same. 
By no means can the entire field of collecting 
be covered in one issue, but we can get enough 
between covers to arouse enthusiasm and inter¬ 
est—and that has been done. 
The entrance to a country house. Other 
photographs are in the August issue 
Besides this subject there is room for some 
excellent interior decoration displays and sev¬ 
eral practical gardening articles and five houses 
of sizes varying from a large country estate to 
a little summer bungalow. The shop pages will 
show cottage chairs, candlesticks and brasses. 
What we like about this issue as it is being 
shaped up now is its atmosphere. You know, 
the thing which makes you like any issue of 
any magazine is the indefinable satisfaction 
which the mere turning of the pages affords. 
What you see at a glance has taken weeks to 
assemble, select and arrange. This is the high 
cost of magazine editing. But it pays because 
it furnishes a delight to the eye and a quicken¬ 
ing to the brain. We have worked hard to 
establish this atmosphere in the August num¬ 
ber. There is a great variety of interest in its 
pages; the pictures are particularly rich in 
practical suggestions and the articles are so 
placed as to keep up constant reading interest 
to the back cover. It is the sort of issue to 
“mull” over, to read on a lazy day in a cool 
spot when time is nothing and pleasure all.
