NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The publicity being given to the Von 

 Til/.'-r song. -Say it With Flowers" 

 is very gratifying to our Committees. 

 '! be sons is a pronounced "hit," and be- 

 sides the presentations of it in the big 

 theatres of our leading cities arranged 

 for by its publishers it is being pre- 

 sented in minor cities by artists out- 

 side of the "headliner" circle, who 

 quickly take hold of anything which 

 becomes a success in the theatres of 

 the larger circuits. A correspondent 

 who happened to lie in the city of 

 Lowell, Mass., last week, writes us 

 that its rendition in a theatre there 

 came as a surprise to the florists, one 

 of whom immediately had flowers sent 

 in to the singer, who used them to 

 advantage. Any assistance the florists 

 can render in the presentation of the 

 song is sure to result to their advan- 

 tage locally. This week Buffalo has 

 a presentation of it at Shea's Theatre, 

 by Miss Emma Stevens, a well-known 

 vocalist. New Orleans is also to have 

 it featured for several weeks in a "Re- 

 vue" at one of its leading places of 

 entertainment. It is quite likely that 

 it will be heard in all cities in the 

 country, and, in addition, it is ex- 

 pected that it will shortly be offered in 

 phonograph record form. All this 

 without any expense to our Publicity 

 Fund — a testimonial to the value of 

 our slogan 



The Slogan Billboards. 

 Paul E. Weiss, of the Weiss-Mycr 

 Co., Growers, Maywood, 111., who is 

 installing four of these signs, or "Ad- 

 vertising Bulletins," as it has been 

 suggested we should call them, writes: 

 "Every grower of flowers in this 

 country, large or small, can afford and 

 should buy at least one sign. Per- 

 sonally, I believe this idea of bill- 

 boards to be a great advertising med- 

 ium, and we growers are bound to get 

 good results." The manufacturers of 

 signs, in Fort Wayne, Ind., are making 

 prompt shipment of all signs ordered. 

 A florist in New Jersey is planning to 

 use four of the signs, and proposes to 

 make an extensive planting of flower- 

 ing and evergreen shrubs around each, 

 with, perhaps, vines trained around 

 the framework — an excellent idea, and 

 one worthy of adoption generally.
