Dear Readers: THANK YOU for continuing to make Style the most-admired magazine in the Detroit area. With your enthusiastic response, Style has grown from a base of 20,000 subscribers to a distribution of 60,000, concentrated in specially selected high-demographic neighbor- hoods, like yours. This issue of Style is devoted solely to the home, with helpful and useful ideas and information featuring — local tastes and trends. No other publication can match this uniquely focused mix of editorial and advertising information. Or its attractiveness .. . From its beautiful glossy cover and coated paper to its color-drenched pages and snap- py design, Style tantalizingly invites you into some of the area's most beautiful homes. And there will be more issues of Style on the way! In August, we'll show you fall fashions . . . like no other publication can. With just the right mix of elegance and pizzaz. And the local merchants who can give you the look you desire. Then, it's back home again in October, with a totally fresh presenta- tion of useful ideas for the house. And when gift-giving time comes, Style will be there, too, with the most colorful and comprehensive array of ideas ever assembled between two covers. It will be your definitive source for the holiday shopping season, with merchants in your neighborhood the stars rather than some mail order house in Maine or Oregon. And in 1991? We'll continue to serve you . . . Stylishly, of course. We appreciate and value your readership.
