An Editorial

,never dreamed of the conveniences of a modern bathroom; ,never slept on a spring mattress; never dreamed of a built-in bookcase or a modern kitchen; never imagined artificial heat and ventilation and wonderful windows, or all the hundred other comforts of a modern home. These things would make a bigger book than any he ever wrote.

But we, of this age, haye done and are continuing to do one great and enduring thing; we have learned the science of practical, attractive, convenient, healthful, luxurious modern home-building, and we keep right on improving those efforts. And this, the old world with all its wonders never even dreamed of.

We have tapped the infinite and translated it into that wonderful thing called HOME. For of all our civilizing influences, it is HOMES that shall the longest and strongest endure.
