29 CFR 780.1010 - Principally.

  • Section Number: 780.1010
  • Section Name: Principally.

    The exemption is intended to apply to the making of an evergreen 
wreath. Such a wreath is one made ``principally'' of evergreens. 
Principally means chiefly, in the main or mainly (Hartford Accident and 
Indemnity Co. v. Casualty Underwriters Insurance Co., 130 F. Supp. 56). 
A wreath is made ``principally'' of evergreens when it is comprised 
mostly of evergreens. For example, where a wreath is composed of 
evergreens and other kinds of material, the evergreens should comprise a 
greater part of the wreath than all the other materials together, 
including materials such as frames, stands, and wires. The principal 
portion of a wreath may consist of any one or any combination of the 
evergreens listed in section 13(d), including ``other evergreens.'' The 
making of wreaths in which natural evergreens are a secondary component 
is not exempt.
