Boughs Packed In Boxes Help Advertise Area Everywhere A little bit of Wisconsin's north- woods is reaching into every corner of Ihe country in time for the Christmas season because of the business acumen ol a former Army private who is living off (ho land and doing nicely. Jim Zambon, 24, former Iron Mountain. resident who operates the Holiday Acres resort with his wife, the former Blaesing, is busy these days delivering scores of neat boxes to the postoflice for shipment to customers in all the 43 states.

In the boxes are seven kinds of boughs, taken from trees growing on the resort land, which is located on Lake Thompson. The boughs- white, Norway and jack pine; balsam fir and ground pine, and hemlock and packed away neatly into the boxes after they arc cut by Jim and his father-in-law, George Blnesing. Doris handles the bookkeeping end of the business which promises to reap at least 1,000 orders this season, at S2.70 each. Jim and his wife first tried the idea last year on a small scale-and they were pleasantly surprised to total 500 orders. This year, they are confident of doubling that total, and sec even rosier years ahead.

The young couple feels it has just begun to tap what should prove to be a lucrative venture. The expenses of running the business are relatively low. Jim points boxes cost 25 cents each and postage averages about 50 cents per order. Other paper, a license, and shipping the total expense to about $1 a box, leaving the rest of the $2.79 as profit for the proprietors. Thus, while most resort owners are inclined to take it easy during the winter, the Zambons are managing to make their property yield profit even in the cold winter months when other resorts usually shut down.

The boxes which weigh from eight to 10 pounds apiece, are pack! od in a large garage at the resort.
