The May 1907 Style Book Monthly Edition – Illustrating the Ladies’ Home Journal Patterns.  The Home Patten Co., Publishers New York. Vol. III No. 4.  As presented by the Boston Specialty Store of Concord, Mass.

The Style Book is printed on newspaper stock.  It consists of 11 pages plus covers and measures, approximately, 14 x 10 ½ inches.  The covers and pages are tanned, stained, chipped, and worn.  Binding is still somewhat tight.  Style Book has been folded in quarters and is a tad rougher than the photos seem to show.

Ladies Home Journal Patterns started in 1904 and were published by the Home Pattern Company, a branch of Conde Nast, which also published patterns under their own name. Ladies Home Journal Patterns were distributed via the popular magazine of the same name, but also sold over the counter, starting in 1905. They seem to have disappeared by 1920.

An excellent resource for those doing Edwardian or Steampunk clothing or for those trying to date McCall Sewing Patterns

The ‘Vintage Patterns Company’ is printed only on the photos used for this listing.  The words are not on the actual pages that you will receive. 

The magazine cannot be shipped media mail as it is against postal policy to use media mail for anything with advertising…and the USPS does not care if the advertising is old.

All magazines are vintage items and sold…AS IS.  Although I maintain a smoke-free and a pet-free studio, I have no control over where items have been previously.  I attempt to represent my goods as honestly as possible, but sometimes something will get by.  If you have any doubts about an item, E-MAIL ME!  I want to make sure that you will be pleased with your purchase.
