NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



As we approach the close of the 

 year, the committee looks back upon 

 the work accomplished with a great 

 deal of satisfaction. Our Publicity 

 Campaign has certainly produced won- 

 derful results, results in which the 

 whole trade has shared. The move- 

 ment of flowers and plants has been 

 most active. No gluts have been re- 

 ported in our markets, and the demand 

 for our products has been greatly in- 

 creased, in spite of a higher range of 

 prices which has all along existed. 



Our slogan "Say it with Flowers" 

 has gained the popular approval of the 

 people, and is being quoted liberally 

 outside our own field. It is being fea- 

 tured by our literary men and women, 

 and it is being sung by concert artists 

 the country over. Our florists — the 

 progressive ones — are using it at 

 every opportunity, and realize its 

 value to them as a medium for sug- 

 gestion. Daily it is growing in use, 

 and bids fair to rival in popularity the 

 best slogan ever devised, and perhaps 

 overshadow 



This condition was foreseen by our 

 Publicity Committee — and it was real- 

 ized through the generous support of 

 only part of those most interested. 

 When the committee started to raise 

 a fund of $100,000 for this year's work, 

 they confidently believed this amount 

 would be forthcoming. It was not. 

 Barely more than half has been volun- 

 teered. As a consequence, the cam- 

 paign, as laid out, has seen many de- 

 partures from its plans. We have only 

 got half as far as was intended. Those 

 whose subscriptions have made the 

 work possible are unanimously of the 

 opinion that the money spent ha*; 

 been a most excellent investment — 

 there has been abundant proof to war- 

 rant such an opinion. 



But it would be interesting to know 

 what the vast army of non-subscribers 

 think about it all. Do they ever think 

 of the benefit which this great cam- 

 paign is producing for them? Are they 

 willing, are they desirous that a cer- 

 tain body of generous men of their 

 own craft should provide this benefit 

 for them? Are they content to see
