THE LIVING FIRE.

To the modern man an open fire means peace and relaxation-a gathering place for his family.
Originally the hearth was the very centre of every home, The fire offered light and heat, it created a
pleasant atmosphere, surroundings conducive to dreams. In the glowing embers these dreams took
form, the tongues of flame created pictures carried upwards in blue smoke.

We have retained the open fireplace, and made additions which draw the family even closer
together, giving a new meaning to Home".

Radio, tape recorder and television provide entertainment and pleasure for the entire family, and
form a basis for stimulating impulses and development. Modern techniques make possible musical
reproduction so enchanting and natural that perfect harmony is created with performers and
listeners in intimate association.

Perhaps this is how the tradition of Huldra came into
being in the flickering flames of the open fire the
shape of a beautiful woman appears to the lonely
forester; he reaches out for her, but she flees

into the forest and disappears, But in his heatt, the
dream of Huldra will live lor ever

Throughout the ages Huldra revealed herself to many
lonely forest dwellers, singing, dancing, always
alluring. Her beauty, that of another world, for those
who encountered Huldra could never forget her
Huldra became the symbol of longing, the dream of
perfection, the almost unattainable. In the spacious
gardens surrounding Tandoergs Radiofabrikk in Oslo is 3
a bronze statue of Huldra m there she stands,
Surrounded by flowers, radiating beauty, an inspiration
to those who, each day, strive constantly to achieve
perfection in their work and the world around them.
