Directly below the title, a photographic portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt is reproduced, capturing the president in a dignified, three-quarter profile. Beneath the image, a facsimile of Roosevelt’s signature appears in cursive script, lending an air of personal authorization to the piece.
The interior panels provide a detailed catalog of nine specific wood stain colors, complete with actual color swatches and their corresponding catalog numbers, such as Light Oak (74-11), Circassian Walnut (74-13), and Knotty Pine (74-23).
The cover presents the title in large, bold, sans-serif blue ink, a stark and modern typographic choice for its era.
