Skilled craftsman Ray A. Herbeck of Milwaukee, Wisc., has an interesting hobby. He is shown here, working on one of his 6-feet-to-the-inch scale models of a log-cabin interior, made of spaghetti, tinfoil, screening wire, pinheads, gum, etc., and all contained in the narrow confines of a regular match box.
It took some three years for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lethin of Glendale, Calif. to build this miniature house on a scale one inch to the fool, and furnish it with every sort of household article, tiny telephones, little lamps that light, etc. Mrs. Lethin is shown beside the house. Other photos show interior view, and the doll-sized bar.
