NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 

 Reports generally as regards 

 Thanksgiving Day business are to the 

 effect that it was of record character. 

 Never before was the volume so great. 

 He would be dull indeed who would 

 not nive our Publicity Campaign 

 credit for being a factor in the promo- 

 tion of this condition. Our magazine 

 advertising was timed just right, and 

 millions of people saw the splendidly 

 illustrated advertisements pertaining 

 to Thanksgiving. The importance of 

 flowers in the general observance of 

 the day was emphasized in the text 

 embodied in the advertisements— "Let 

 flowers express your thankfulness for 

 those friendships you hold dear. Send 

 Thanksgiving Day greetings of flow- 

 ers. Chrysanthemums were never so 

 gorgeous, such glowing tokens of pros- 

 perity and peace as this year. In fact, 

 all flowers seem to anticipate this sea- 

 son's wonderful message." 



Flowers were not cheap — they were 

 really much higher than usual at this 

 season — yet the public bought, and lib- 

 erally. 



Just think of it! The three million 

 copies of the magazines containing our 

 publicity matter were, it is safe to as- 

 sume, read by over ten millions of 

 our people — all of the class we so 

 much desire to reach. All who give 

 thought to this publicity are ready to 

 admit that it is wonderful work we 

 are doing, with equally wonderful suc- 

 cess resulting— and their prayer is 

 that we may be able to keep it up. 



The approaching holiday season is 

 tilled for in the same way, but on a 

 somewhat larger scale. By means of 

 colored pages and display advertise- 

 ments the desirability of flowers and 

 plants for Christmas presents is sup 

 gested. It is something of a new idea 

 for the public. "Say Merry Xmas With 

 Flowers" the advertisements read. 

 'The Sweetest Gift of All." What a 

 world of peace and good-will to all is 

 expressed in that age-old phrase. Es- 

 pecially when you say it with flowers! 

 For every heart thrills to the message 

 of radiant blossoms. And their ex- 

 quisite fragrance lingers as memory's 

 chief charm. No thought so tender, 

 but that flowers will add to its beauty. 

 No gift so rare, but that flowers are 

 more appropriate." Every advertise- 

 ment carries a paragraph to remind 

 readers that deliveries of flowers in 

 distant cities and towns are easily 

 made through the telegraphic delivery
