House & Garden 
Among the many interesting rooms 
in the Interior Decorations Number is 
this view inside an English cottage 
A BOUT eight years ago 
House & Garden came 
on the idea of “The Lit¬ 
tle Portfolio of Good Interiors.” 
It found so much favor among 
our readers that a few years 
later we added the “Group of 
Houses” as a regular feature. 
With April we are trying a 
third type of portfolio, this time 
gardens being shown in a three- 
page group. Thus the three 
great subjects to which the 
magazine is devoted will be pre¬ 
sented in a concise and inspir¬ 
ing pictorial form, which should 
prove an addition to the scrap¬ 
book of the home lover. In this 
next issue will also begin a 
series of graphic charts on the 
characteristics of the great fur¬ 
niture periods. This, again, is a 
feature that can easily be cut 
out and saved. 
But why do we suggest that 
“Cut-out-and-save” idea? Be¬ 
cause we have found that House 
& Garden readers have de¬ 
veloped the habit. We think it 
a good one and we are trying 
to make it a magazine that you 
simply cannot forget. Perhaps 
the easiest way is to save the 
entire magazine, advertising 
and all. Advertising? Yes, 
that is quite important. In

Volume XLIII, No. Three 
Subscribers are notified that no change of address 
can be effected in less than one month 
fact, some of the advertising 
copy is equally as beautiful as 
the text illustrations. And this 
is as it should be. Advertising 
in American class magazines 
has attained to a high art. 
And there is another reason 
why you should save the adver¬ 
tising pages. The editorial mat¬ 
ter naturally awakens an inter¬ 
est in the objects shown. You 
ask, “How do I do it?” or 
“Where can I get it?” or “How 
much does it cost?” The text 
tells how to do it. The adver¬ 
tising pages and the Informa¬ 
tion Service tell where it can be 
had and its cost. This applies 
to all three subjects—gardening, 
decorating and building. 
First and last House & 
Garden is a practical magazine. 
It is deliberately built so that 
it will assist its readers in the 
making and maintenance of 
their homes. No small ideal. 
That this is a subject of vital 
interest is proven by the way the 
circulation of House & Garden 
has steadily advanced. And 
that its readers take advantage 
of its opportunities is again 
proven by the way advertisers 
come forward to use its pages 
as shop windows for the dis¬ 
play of their wares.
