Graser of Orchard Beach. Mrs. Graser has been spending her leisure hours and taken a few hours from hei sleeping time to make aome lovely, decorative Christmas trees of foil. . These trees stand about 20 or 22 inches high and are made with silver foil facing. The topside of the branches are in any desired color. They can be used to decorate the holiday dinner table or on any table or buffet.
