The publisher's name and location are at the bottom. The back cover has an advertisement from a flour company. There are many articles in the publication touching on interior decoration, gardening, home remodeling, cooking, architecture, leisure activities, and some short stories. The work is heavily illustrated with drawings and photographs and there are many advertisements related to domestic life.
