Halvorson started his business during the depression. He de cided that the tops of the scrag gly spruce trees north of Duluth would make fine small Christ mas trees for dinner tables and small apartments. Trial and Error For months, Halvorson cut trees on week ends and brought them home. He and his wife, Ede, tried out hundreds of ways to color and preserve them. At last they hit on a solution of water and plant foods which, when sealed in a metallic tree base, acts as an artificial sap and keeps the trees fresh for weeks, even in a warm room. The tree tops are cut and hauled to the Halvorson factory in trucks. Theri they're treated, colored and "frosted" with a special colored powder in a wind tunned. Some 20 carloads a day are shipped out on rail road tracks directly from the factory during the Christmas rush season. Only the top of the trees leave the forest. The rest of the tree is left to decay. Havorson says that rather than being wasteful, the cutting actually is a conservation measure. Halvorson, in an interview here, said his annual business amounts to more than $1,000,000 a year. He sells in excess of 1,- 250,000 trees annually, but can't fill all the orders be receives. Decoration Recipe The miniature trees come in dark green, white, silver and the new pink. There's also a gift box including a tree and minia ture ornaments and miniature electric light strings with bulbs about twice the size of kitchen match heads. Mrs. Halvorson oversees the office work at the plant and "checks on every order." Her favorite is the green tree which closely resembles the na tural shade. And one of her fa vorite decorations is the old fashioned Scandinavian "spritz" cookie which can be made into ornaments of "S" and "O" shapes. Decorate with colored sugar or silver balls. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for eight minutes and remove from sheet while warm. When cool tie onto tree with thread. Rub a little salad oil in molds to be used for gelatin salads. This makes serving easier. 1- 3 0 VJ?P TOW! o O 3 o oNkfjl O O c o O oWp 1 zoo 3 o 0 ? llo O C O O 3 ! h o ? c cl o c Ojsr-.
