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.
