Hudson's Bay 4 Point Blanket
Manufacturer: Hudsons Bay Blankets
Legendary blankets that set the standard by which all others are measured
In the late 1700s, wool blankets were so important to comfort and survival that they were used as a form of currency in trading between trappers and Native Americans. Beaver pelts were exchanged for blankets through the Hudson's Bay Company and its outposts throughout Northern Canada.
Hudson's Bay Point Blankets retain the authentic 100% wool quality that has made these blankets legendary. Like those sold in the 18th century, today's blankets are made in England with wool blended from sources in England, Wales, New Zealand, and India. Each type of wool is selected for qualities that help create a water-resistant, soft, warm, and strong final product. The wool is dyed before it is spun and then air- and sun-dried to brighten the colors. These blankets warm the interior of any home, cabin, or cottage. They will keep you and your guests warm and cozy on the coldest nights, just like they've kept generations of trappers, hunters, fur traders, and Native Americans warm and comfortable. 100% wool. 72" x 90". Imported. Dry clean. |

A Story About A "Paul Bunyan Playground" Couple
In the late 1930's tourism became a primary industry of the Bemidji area. The people relied on their vacationers. This is a story of a "Paul Bunyan Playground" couple.
Frances and Art Christenson with their two daughters spent summer vacations at Balm Lake for many years. Operating a radio and electric shop in Concordia, Kansas, they decided to sell the business and bought Balm Lake Resort in 1941. The resort had five cabins and no electricity. They moved into the log cabin closest to the lake which had spaces between the logs. This was remedied soon by stuffing with askum (an insulating material). The roads to Bemidji were gravel, taking about two hours to cover thirty miles.
The Christensons began the reconstruction of the resort, but then the war came. They closed up the place and headed for California to work for Henry Kaiser Shipyards for two years. After the return they continued the work, making the resort into eight cabins eventually. Tourists came from all over the country, mostly from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Kansas. Many repeated their stay every summer. Guests liked the rustic atmosphere, family oriented, peace and quiet, and friendliness.After getting the place really going good, Art died of a heart attack in 1955. He thorougly enjoyed the country and loved his fishing. Frances felt she had to do something for living so decided to keep operating the resort, where she still is today at 91 years of age.
She's sold off the resort cabins and lots but still has the original log home and two older cabins for her personal guests. In 1974 she had a new home built up the hill overlooking the lake. From there she keeps track of what is going on - boats, fishing. the birds, etc. During one of their last vacations in 1930's, they purchased a special wool blanketfor $4.98. This blanket bears the "Paul Bunyan Playground" insignia. This has been repeated and prepared by the Bemidji Woolen Mills, commemorating the 1996 Bemidji Centennial. |
