1953 Press Photo Alvin Bidgood Picks up Bundles of Boughs for Christmas Wreaths

Preparing Christmas wreaths for sale by Boy Scouts in Milwaukee and other cities in Wisconsin is keeping residents of the Morse area in Ashland county busy these days. Alvin Bidgood of Glidden drives a tractor through the woods to pick up bundles of boughs which are made into wreaths in a building that was formerly a deserted schoolhouse. Ted Krueger, Morse, stores them in a former lumber kiln. The project provides much needed income in the area.
