One of the most distinctive stores ever seen in Louisville, Ky., is William Korb 's new shop. Built entirely of logs and boulders and decorated inside with nothing but bark, it has a most unusual appearance. Before entering the flower business Mr. Korb was an interior dec- orator and his ability along this line is clearly shown in the shop. The icebox is made of concrete and the figures are done in plaster of Paris, all the work of Mr. Korb. The walls are paneled with bircli bnrk, around which is pasted tan bark. The ceiling is also of tan bark, and in the center of it is. an old and valued painting which Mr. Korb had when in the decorating busi- ness. The workbench in the rear has a cement top, made in such a way that it will hold moisture, keeping the flowers fresh as they are made up. The bottom is covered with bark also. Every detail was carried out with care and on enter- ing the shop one feels the freshness of the outdoors. The conservatory adjoin- ing, also done in rustic finish, is quite pretty. Rustic furniture was used throughout; even the partition wall be- tween the display room and workshop is of willow branches twisted by the clever hands of Mr. Korb to make a pretty design. The store is thought to be the only one of its kind in the country and has attracted much attention not only from the public in general but from men who are in the decorating business. Mr. Kerb conducts the store under the name, Kerb's Florist & Art Shoppe, with ad- dress "at the 'Log Cabin.' " The store is at 1043 South Twenty-eighth street Greenhouses are at 2720 Greenwood avenue. e. G. R. All the Fhtines of WMun Korb's Log Cabin Store Are Rustic in ^>pearance. MAKING STRAWrLOWERS.
