Description

Jimmy Greene reported from one Belfast cottage industry where they believed in keeping it in the family. The very youthful workforce at the small Antrim Road factory devoted to making artificial Christmas trees boasted four siblings from the McCann family and two from the Johnsons among the eight workers. The youngsters are shown grooving away to the radio as they work and Brendan McCann is interviewed about his sense of pride in providing trees for family homes.
