How to Use the Vigoro Beauty Plans

By Wagstaff, C. D.
[Chicago]: Swift & Company. Wraps, envelope. Fine. 12 page brochure, plus two large folded sheets with brightly colored illustrations of three different plans and a large outer envelope with illustrations conveying an idea of the contents. Plans are based on the drawings of C.D. Wagstaff, who it is asserted was one of the foremost landscape architects in America at the time. N.d., circa 1930s. N.p., but surely Chicago, where Swift was based. Brochure is 12mo, 18 by 14 cm, envelope is 31.5 by 24 cm, two sided posters, with the plans and designs rendered in color, each 61 by 42 cm. Two of the plans are for comparatively modest suburban homes, one a bungalow, the other, a tidy cottage, and one plan is for a decidedly more upscale residence of a house of eclectic design, with elements of both Colonial Revival and Mediterannean styles. All, though, are shown to be greatly enhanced with extensive, artfully arranged landscaping that creates a dreamy park-like setting. Scarce -- only two institutions listed on OCLC as having this, or part of this -- U. of Minnesota, Canadian Center for Architecture.
