MILWAUKEE. 



After the Convention. 



The Milwaukee convention now goes 

 into history. It will not be necessary to 

 tell those who were present that it was 

 a grand success in every way, but there 

 should have been a much larger attend- 

 ance to see the great trade display. The 

 Society of American Florists does more 

 than any other trade organization for 

 its members, and the problem of increas- 

 ing its membership should be solved. It 

 seems to take a little more than cold 

 facts printed in our proceedings to ap- 

 peal i" the craft to join this valuable 

 society. The time to act is now. Do 

 not wait until train time next year and 

 then find out who is going. Perhaps the 

 fact is that we feel bo proud of being a 

 member of the society, and thiuk that 

 ling our neighbors one better by 

 being a member, that we do not praise 

 it half enough on our return home from 

 tin' conventions. Tell your neighbors 

 that you have met the shining lights in 

 ■ mi profession. Tell them the knowl' 

 edge you have gained has 1 n of incal- 

 culable value. Tell them they can 

 not conduct their business so as to keep 

 abreast of these progressive times with- 

 out i" ing a member. V.\ ery member 

 should resolve now to appoint himself a 



committ f one to solicit memberships 



and should have influence enough to 

 bring in at least one new member, which 

 would moan the donhlinn of our member- 

 ship for next year, ami we feel sure we 

 ought to escort our president-elect, Philip 

 Breitmeyer, into St. Louis several thou- 

 sand strong. 



The programme mapped out was fol- 

 lowed successfully without a hitch or the 

 loss ■ ' moment's time. The opening 

 address • President Burton was well 

 and the mayor's welcome start- 

 ed the ball a rolling. Adam Graham 

 responded for the society and the con- 

 as on in full blast. The presi- 

 dent 's reception was held in an ideal 

 place and proved a great success. The 

 bowlers had a grand time, which is say- 

 ing enough. In addition to the outing 

 tendered the ladies, they had a knack of 

 entertaining themselves, which left no 

 idle moments. The outing on the lake

was an enjoyable trip; the weather was 

 ideal and the crowd merry. We were 

 like one large family and it afforded an 

 opportunity to show the great social fea- 

 ture connected with our meetings. Chi- 

 cago boys did themselves proud in bring- 

 ing us together in one grand love feast 

 and the entertainment at the Coliseum 

 was a rare treat and highly appreciated.
