A-4 Wednesday, April 21, 2021 The Press-Dispatch Your Window Fashions Store Since 1954 704 Main Street • Jasper, IN 812-482-4040 An excerpt from our grand opening ad in March 1954 After 66 years of serving Dubois and surrounding counties the Corbin family has sold their drapery and window fashion business. e Corbin family name has been synonymous with the very fi nest in custom draperies, blinds and shades. It all started in March of 1954, with Marvin Corbin and partner Bob Devine opening a modern department store on the corner of 7th and Main in Jasper. After Bob left to devote more time to his other businesses, Sylvia Corbin joined her husband as co-owner. Marvin Corbin passed away in 1984 and Sylvia, Ron Leinenbach and Gary Corbin became the new owners. In 1995, following an illness by Sylvia, Ron Leinenbach and Gary Corbin became owners. Ron Leinenbach retired in 2010 and Gary Corbin became owner. I, Gary, want to thank all of our past and present customers and friends for their loyal support. I also want to especially thank all the wonderful employees that made Corbin's Drapery a success. Without all of you, none of this would have been possible. at's the old news. e new owners are Jeff and Leigh Boeckman, and Jilliane Howell. e names are familiar of course and their business practices, fair prices and great service match what Corbin's Drapery has provided for the past 66 years. I urge you to continue to do business with Jeff , Leigh, and Jilliane and the new, but old company, Corbin's Drapery and Design Studio. And by the way, I'm still working, measuring, installing and helping where needed. e phone number is still the same, or just stop in and see some of the changes that have been made. Again, thank you for such a wonderful time.
