V -iLii r t ..j m m W The Kind of Hemes That Women Want The family that is planning a new house turns instinctively te The Ladies' Heme Journal for suggestions and ideas, and thousands of beautiful homes have been constructed from plans secured at nominal cost through its architectural pages But styles in houses change like styles in dress. The big old-fashioned kitchen gave way te the kitchenette. What de women want today? What sort of dining rooms and pantries, if any, de they want? What kind of heat ? What labor-saving devices ? Te answer all these questions The Jour nal recently conducted a national house planning contest, offering prizes for the best plans of "The Heme I'd Like te Have." The result was astonishing. Mere than 6000 home-builders eagerly responded, and the plans they drew have given The Heme Journal a brand-new conception of the up-te-date small house. The house plans that are new presented month by month in The Journal show the homes that women really want. We knew, because the women themselves designed them. We knew what materials are desired, what kitchen equipment, what lighting fixtures, what electrical appliances, what sort of heat and paint and decorations. In every family it is the woman who finally selects the home Realtors say that she will buy the house that contains the greatest number of devices and mate rials that are familiar te her through national advertising; contractors testify that she will specify for the house she builds these products that have already been sold te her through the pages of her favorite magazine. Te the manufacturer of building materials, household devices, in terior furnishings and every product that gees into the building and furnishing of a home, we offer for examination and use a di gest of the results of The Heme JOURNAL'S Heuse-Plan contest. We would welcome an opportunity of going ever this report with you, as we believe it te be the most valuable material of its kind available THE CURTIS PUBLISHING COMPANY INDEPENDENCE SQUARE, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA i i if .i The Ladies' Heme Journal The Saturday Evening Pest The Country Gentleman Liv hi ! ,w i,vr . . &&
