American Motherhood Magazine Fashions from 1919

OK, sorry about that. Just as I was back in the blogging swing of things a family issue took me away. But now everything is peachy and I'm happy to start showing you treasures again.
 Let's start with some patterns featured in American Motherhood Magazine, September, 1919. These were mailed out when you sent 10¢. Chances are they were sent from a central clearing house and you could have ordered these same patterns from several magazines. But wherever you got them they were wonderful.

Redbook Magazine 1919 - It's all about the Men!

We think of Redbook as a women's magazine today, but in 1919 it was called The Red Book Magazine and was aimed at men and women, most of the ads are directed at women, but some of these are for the guys.

Redbook Magazine 1919 - Seven Beautiful Women

This is a fabulous find! Redbook Magazine from June 1919. There is lots to share but we are going to start with the "Art Section" and the seven "Beautiful Women". Actually we get to see an eighth because the cover gal is surely beautiful, but she isn't named. The artist is Haskell Coffin. See more of his work here.
