1913: DOWNTOWN TRENTON'S MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS TREE

The huge and somewhat "foliage impaired" Christmas tree that graced Trenton's Municipal building back in 1913 reminds one of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. As can be seen in this very primitive offset photo, the tree lacks the fullness of boughs that we have come to expect from our current community tree. However, what it lacks in branches it compensates by the size. Look at those two little guys standing at the base who are dwarfed by the giant!
