Christmas Trees Aid Students Through College
Two Montana University students cut and sold Christmas trees to fund their education. Bob Braig and Warren Drew leased 160 acres, selected 1200 trees, and produced about 4000 on a mountain near Missoula, selling 3000 to a Missoula outlet. They averaged 100 trees daily, earning about $1000 in invested value and contemplating continuing the venture after graduation.
