Background Information:
Woman's Home Companion was an American monthly magazine, published from 1873 to 1957. It was highly successful, climbing to a circulation peak of more than four million during the 1930s and 1940s.

Working between WWI and the late Twenties, Coles Phillips was the first to introduce Art Deco styles into advertising design. Many of his illustrations were of  very modern and seductively designed women. Some social historians actually give Phillips credit for the first pin-up girl, later known as "The Fadeaway Girl". During the twenty-year period between 1907 and 1927, Coles Phillips was ranked with Parrish, Leyendecker and Flagg as one of the most popular illustrators in the nation.
