Christmas Decorations
Local dealers in Christmas greens
are busily engaged in their manu-
facture, employing many men and
women. On many farms entire
families are making wreaths of
holly cut from their lands. This
once-despised crop is, in many
cases, the most prosperous cash
crop gathered from the farm. The
money thus earned goes a long way
in furnishing clothing for the en-
tire family. Dealers call at the
farm for the finished wreaths and :
pay cash on the spot, thus saving ,
the farmer from driving to town to
market the wreaths, and also gives
more time to gathering holly and
making wreaths.
