NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



With the enthusiasm expressed at 

 tin' Detroit Convention of the Society 

 over the very excellent results forth- 

 coming from the Publicity Campaign, 

 the promotion of the fund of $100,009 

 should take on new life. Nobody now 

 has any doubt as to the efficiency of 

 the Campaign, and the collection of 

 the fund simmers down to a florist's 

 own conscientious thought as to how 

 much he shall give. Our workers fully 

 believe that every florist intends to pay 

 his way into this marvelous project 

 for the stimulation of his business, 

 and if you. Mr. Reader, have not al- 

 ready subscribed, rest assured that 

 your subscription is expected. 



Your Secretary was delighted a day 

 or two after his return to New York 

 from the Convention, to receive the 

 following letter from one of the 

 "bright lights" in the trade: 



"Philadelphia, Aug. 26, 1919. 

 Mr. John Young, Secretary, 

 1170 Broadway, New York City. 



My Dear Sir: — Making good my 

 promise of a year or so ago, of con- 

 tributing to the Publicity Campaign, 1 

 am sending you a check for five hun- 

 dred dollars for the Publicity Commit- 

 tee. You are surely doing good work, 

 and I admire your zeal. 



Cordially yours, 



H. H. Battles." 



The florist who is wondering what 

 amount he should subscribe need not 

 hesitate. If he thinks later that he 

 has "under-subscribed," he can very 

 easily make an additional subscrip- 

 tion. Such additional aid is weekly to 

 be noted in the list which our good 

 friends, the trade papers, publish in 

 practically every one of their issues. 



The Publicity Committees are now 

 called upon to vote large appropria- 

 tions for publicity which will be great- 

 ly needed in the coming season. It is 

 to the best interests of the trade to 

 see that the money for all this is forth- 

 coming. 



Your Promotion Bureau would like 

 to hear from florists having sites 

 where could be located big bill board 

 signs carrying the slogan "Say it with 

 Flowers." Many florists are located 

 along railroads and much traveled 



highways where such signs could be 

 advantageously displayed. Arrange- 

 ments have been made whereby such 

 a sign can be provided for about $50, 

 made of metal, in knock-down form, 

 and as handsome as a skilled artist 

 can make it. It is 7 1 - feet wide by 20 

 feet in length, and decidedly orna- 

 mental. Your committees will furnish 

 one for the price named, but. of course, 

 cannot father any other expense at- 

 taching to it. Quite a few have al- 

 ready made request for a sign, and our 

 committees have felt warranted in en- 

 tering into a contract which will allow 

 of the supply of signs at the low price 

 mentioned. The Secretary will be 

 pleased to furnish any further infor- 

 mation on this subject which may be 

 desired. 



The following subscriptions have 

 been received and are in addition to 

 those previously announced, annually 

 for four years, unless otherwise 

 stated;
