NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The Fall advertising in connection 

 with our Campaign commences with 

 a two column display in the issue of 

 Collier's Weekly for October 4th, the 

 circulation of which is over a million 

 copies. Other prominent weeklies will 

 be used at the start, and will princi- 

 pally be used throughout November. 

 The monthlies will be used through- 

 out December, their dates of issue be- 

 ing early in November, so that 

 Thanksgiving and Christmas business 

 will be featured, colored pages being 

 used in the Metropolitan Magazine, 

 Century, Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, 

 Scribner's, Review of Reviews. 

 World's Work and Munsey's. 



Our Committees would have gone 

 much further, had their original plans 

 been possible of accomplishment. It 

 is not their policy to contract for 

 more publicity than the funds in 

 sight would warrant. Space in the 

 mediums used is very expensive, and 

 a $20,000 appropriation is not made 

 without considerable thought. The 

 Committees' work, as laid down is 

 handicapped by the very slow materi- 

 alization of subscriptions. The influx 

 of contributions may be quite good 

 for a week or two, then comes a lull, 

 showing that very many florists are 

 not bothering themselves with this 

 great and important matter of pub- 

 licity for flowers. There are probably 

 13,000 florists who can well afford to 

 subscribe, who have as yet shown no 

 disposition to do so, although they 

 must admit that the Campaign has 

 been wonderfully effective. East and 

 West, North and South, our slogan 

 has become well implanted in the pub- 

 lic mind, and it is up to every florist 

 to render assistance to keep it there — 

 and this means that he must contrib- 

 ute according to his means. 



This should not be allowed to be a 

 Campaign of the few, as all are inter- 

 ested in proportion to their Invest- 

 ments. There has been no dictation 

 as to how much a florist should give — 

 that is a matter entirely for him to 

 decide. In other lines of business 

 where campaigns such as ours are 

 conducted, contributions are on a 

 specific basis, and no difficulty is ex- 

 perienced in collecting the fund aimed 

 for. And we should have no difficul- 

 ty; if every florist in this country 

 should contribute only $5.00, our 

 Fund would be easily completed. As
