Young Roosevelt Enters New York Christmas Tree Trade
Elliott Roosevelt launches a Christmas tree business from Hyde Park with his mother Eleanor Roosevelt. Trees from Hyde Park will be sold wholesale to unions and retail via avenues in New York City and upstate towns, with pricing aimed to bring the market down and benefit children. The plan includes selling trees up to seven feet tall at 1.78 dollars and smaller trees at lower prices, with unions reselling at a capped profit. The CIO United Electrical Workers union says it will buy some trees for distribution to welfare funds while the Roosevelt estate completes its first entry into the New York retail market after selling 30,000 trees from Hyde Park last year.
