About the company:  

--  In an advertisement in Pacific Monthly (in 1907), the Bungalow Book Publishing Company of Portland is referenced as one of the companies issuing catalogs/plans for suburban lots or country orchard lands. The ad says new owners could buy plans from their catalog to build homes.  The “Craftsman” / “Arts and Crafts / Bungalow” cultural movement was very strong in the Pacific Northwest (including Oregon) in that era, which aligns with the kind of market there was for plan catalogs, house plan books, and “pattern book” architecture. -- Unable to find out much about this company. Other than they were in the popular trade of ready made homes and plans for homes to build either by contractors or homesteaders. (source google)
