The store and office fixtures, grill, etc., are all of nickel, and everything is finely arranged for carrying on a large and high class business. The splendid large and capacious ice- box is of polislied marble and clear plate glass, that shows off the fine stock to per- fection and on the opposite side is a large, roomy and elegant show case in wliich various kinds of ware and baskets, ribbons and flower boxes of the best and latest designs are shown. The floor is of an elegant mosaic pattern and the center of the store is open and roomy, fine plants of various kinds being grouped around the center pillar. The ceiling, as will be seen, is a fine work of art. The trade here is strictly of a high class character, only the finest fiowers and the most exquisite designs, in the art of making which Mr. Wienhober is a past master, Ijeing han- dled. The continued and increasing suc- cess of the firm is the result of its spirited policy in showing the finest grades of orchids and other high class flowers at all times, even if occasionally there was a loss on the transactions at first.
