to represent to you the fine feeling of love 



ami friendship I have fur ynu.' 



"Darn it all, fellows, :is one after another 



ca 1 found that a big tear wan creeping 



down my face and I turned over no my 

 will- would think it was the li^-lit slilninL' 

 in my eyes that did it. 



"Onr Kiwanls BorlSt Hays. 'Say It With 

 Flowers,' and I am |n moat hearty accord 

 with the thought, for there Is mi way you 

 ran say it BO beautifully, sn sentimentally 

 and so well. Lots of times I have sent 

 them hut this is my lirst experience on 

 the receiving end and I want to tell you 

 that 1 shall send mere in the future. 



"I never expect to Deed any charity from 

 any of tin- organizations to which I belong. 

 Tile prospects are that I shall never he in 

 want. Itut if my years of activity, all my 

 time Invested, all the dues I have paid and 

 everything I have done in all of them paid 

 me no other dividend than those flowers 

 when I was sick, I should feel amply re- 

 paid and that I have made a most wonder- 

 ful Investment. 



"We weary of eating and drinking, of go- 

 Ing up and down the world, of looking at 

 its mountains, the rivers that water it and 

 the cities which make its prosperity. We 

 tire of chasing the laurel wreath of Fame 

 and the bauble of Prominence. Itut we 

 never tire of our friends and those who 

 smile as they look into our eyes. 



"After all, the friends we accumulate are 

 the greatest asset we have as we grow on 

 toward the twilight zone of life. Friend- 

 ship is love with his wings clipped so he 

 cannot fly away, and as they represented 

 these friends those flowers were the sweet- 

 est things I have ever known." 



And yet our committees are finding 

 it a hard task to collect a fund big 

 enough to carry our slogan — admitted- 

 ly the best and most suggestive of all 

 the slogans used in the business world 

 — to the people whose minds are open 

 to its reception, and whose pockets are 

 to furnish the material benefit which 

 is the object of our campaign. When 

 our large army of non-subscribers can, 

 even in a small way, realize the vast 

 amount of good being created for our 

 industry, and in which they are shar- 

 ing, there will, perhaps, be forthcom- 

 ing a better response to our appeals 

 for subscriptions. It is hard for any- 

 one who has intelligently followed the 

 course of our campaign to understand 

 why so many florists continue to hold 

 aloof with their support. E. J. Steele. 

 manager of Steele's Pansy Gardens. 

 Portland. Ore., writes, under date of 

 October 23rd: "Friend Young: Am 

 pleased to see the good work going on, 

 and often wonder if the multitude of 

 "Let George do it" tightwads in Amer 

 ica doesn't make you feel somewhat 

 weary." Did our committees not have 

 the greatest confidence in the ultimate 

 attainment of their aims, they might 

 get weary. But the very excellence 

 nf their success so far is sustaining 

 them in their work, and their 'feet' are 

 still 'warm.' " 



The campaign must De kept going. 

 We have entered "the land of prom- 

 ise," and our reward is already at 

 hand. Help us, Friend Non-subscriber, 

 to our goal of $100,000, so that we may 

 all share in the bounty which our craft 

 so much desires.
