EXCELLENT PICTURES AND
DRAWINGS ARE ON DISPLAY
The pictures and drawings of Max
W. Kollm, the celebrated interior ar
J tist and architect, that are on exhibi
tion in the display windows of the
Brown & Hawkins big mercantile
store are creating considerable inter
: est, and justly so, as these studies
picture a phase of life peculiar to Al
aska and Mr. Kollm has depicted the
different scenes of Alaska life in an
adept manner that is the result of
much study. That Mr. Kollm has liv
ed this life is perfectly apparent and
his pictures are a work of art, well
designed and executed, showing orig
inality and skill.
Mr. Kollm has a studio at his home
on 6th and D and is always courteous''
to visitors and delights in explaining
the different views and relating how
he got the inspiration. His work on
! the birch bark is exceptionally good
; and make a very appropriate souven
| ir of this section and the interior of
! Alaska. He has made a life long
1 study of this work and his love for
j dogs and animals is truly shown by
j their life-like reproductions in his
| clever work
