Like a message in a bottle, it had persevered, wandering adrift in and out of a Chicago storage unit over the span of more than 50 years before washing ashore. When its message was finally deciphered through research, it conveyed a sensational revelation! Embark on an odyssey that will crescendo towards a challenge to reconsider the popular history of the American aluminum Christmas tree.

What a testament to the hard work and talent of Chester and Helen Hankus. Starlite by Revlis is beautifully illustrated, with photos showing the Revlis trees, advertisements and information on the Revlis company, started in 1956 in Chicago. Seeing pictures of the aluminum trees brought back childhood memories of my brother and I running through the Revlis showroom, hiding amongst the many colored trees on display. Theron has researched his subject with much love and diligence, all beginning with a signature on a cardboard tray. I thoroughly enjoyed the book that gave my Uncle and Aunt the recognition they deserved in the history of aluminum trees. -Los Angeles, CA
