From the Ipswich Tribune December 27, 1928 edition

CHRISTMAS TREE IS ERECTED

A huge Jack Pine Christmas tree was erected at the intersection of Main Street Saturday evening. This tree came from near Esmay Montana and was shipped in by M. Plin Beebe. The Tree is 30 feet high and with its decorations of many colored electric bulbs made a beautiful sight.

Forrest and Floyd Dehnert, Stephen Williams, Ernest Beebe, Chet Williams and Leander Weber put the tree in place.

Ipswich should be grateful for the enterprise shown by Mr. Beebe in putting up the tree.
