ABOUT OUR EVERGREEN ROPING 
We think there are no decorations as beautiful, and as much in keeping with 
the Christmas Season as our lovely Evergreen Roping. You have a large variety to 
choose from, and there are many, Many ways to use this—you can have individual 
and different decorations every year by using this roping. 
Our roping is made by workmen, who have had many years experience in this 
work, from fresh, select Evergreens. Round, fluffy, tightly woven so that it cannot 
fall apart, our beautiful roping cannot be compared to the poorly made, light weight 
roping often sold on the market. Entirely made by hand on an extra heavy twine, 
so strong it is better than wire, it will not slip on twine as it sometimes does on wire. 
However, we can make this on the wire if you prefer. We strive always to improve 
the quality of our roping and feel sure there is none better on the market. Every 
year we receive praise on the beauty and quality of our Evergreens. 
Last year we had a medium weight and a heavy weight roping, but we have 
discontinued making the medium weight, as it does not look as well as a heavier 
grade ior cities. We are only making the heavy weight, and the extra heavy weight. 
Our selection of roping would be the Laurel, White Pine or Mixed Laurel-White 
Pine. Balsam and Boxwood are beautiful and will last longest, but prices of these 
are usually too high for the average consumer. Hemlock is among the loveliest, but 
has a very short life span. It is the most perishable roping we handle. 
If your city has a warm climate, we suggest your trying our treated, painted 
roping, as listed on page 7. This roping has a much longer life than the natural. 
In one instance last year we checked the painted roping 60 days after it had been 
put up, and it was just as nice and fresh as when first put up. However, in a cool 
climate, where the temperature does not get too warm, the natural roping, unpainted 
or treated, will last throughout the Holiday season. 
HOW TO FIGURE THE COST OF DECORATING 
YOUR CITY 
The cost of decorating your city is comparatively small when you use the Ever- 
green Roping and Wreaths. You will be surprised to find how far just 1,000 yards 
of this roping will go. You can stretch this out thinly, making it go a long way, 
or you can put this up abundantly. 
To know how much roping it would take, you could measure your streets, estimate 
how many times you want to cross the streets and see how much it would take. 
If you need any help in decorating your city, and could send us a sketch of your 
streets, we will be glad to help you plan your decorations. There are so many 
beautiful ways to decorate your city, you need not use the same style even for two 
consecutive years. No matter how little or how much you can afford to spend, when 
you use Evergreens there is a way to decorate your city. For some ideas on how to 
use this roping, we refer you to pages 2, 6, 7 and 12, where we show some different 
ways to use this roping. 
HOW TO PREPARE FOR AND PUT UP ROPING 
AND LIGHTS 
All lights, and roping, need a heavy guy wire for support. The longer span you 
have, the heavier your wire needs to be. It should never be lighter than telephone 
wire. Whenever possible, these wires or cables should be permanent, put up high 
enough to be out of the way of traffic, and left up all year. It will not be noticable, 
and will save you much trouble each Christmas Season. Some towns have light 
posts that are high enough to swing wires from, and others do not. Some towns 
have telephone and light poles which they can fasten wires to. When a city does 
not have either, cables can be anchored to side of buildings that face the street, 
extending cables across the street. Wires can then be strung up and down length 
of street as needed. For illustration, see sketches on page 4. »*
