THE FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILA- 

 DELPHIA 

 Publicity Meeting 



The January meeting of the Florists' 

 Club of Philadelphia, to be held on 

 Tuesday, January 7th, at 8.00 p. m., 

 in the Hotel Adelphia, 13th and Chest- 

 nut streets, is to be made a special 

 occasion. 



The feature of the evening will be 

 the opening gun of the S. A. F. Pub- 

 licity Campaign for 1919. What has 

 been accomplished and their plans for 

 the coming year. 



The meeting will be addressed by 

 ex-President Chas. H. Totty, Secretary 

 John Young, Major P. F. O'Keefe, 

 Wallace R. Pierson and W. F. Glide. 



An exhibition of commercial cut 

 flowers new and standard varieties 

 will be an attractive feature. 



It is desired and an invitation is 

 hereby extended to all the trade who 

 can make it convenient, particularly 

 those who have Philadelphia for their 

 market, to attend this important meet- 

 ing. Retail store men will be partic- 

 ularly interested in the address of 

 Major P. F. O'Keefe whose slogan, 

 "Say it with Fowers," has done so 

 much to benefit the trade. Wallace R. 

 Pierson is one of the brightest and 

 most practical men in the craft. A 

 line from him is worth more than a 

 page of theory. President Totty and 

 Secretary Young who have given so 

 much of their time and best effort to 

 this movement will tell of its success, 

 while W. F. Gude who so ably guards 

 the interests of the craft in Washing- 

 ton, and as President of the F. T. D. 

 keeps the members keyed up to the 

 greatest efficiency, will have an inter- 

 esting story. Let every member of 

 the trade in this section make a 

 special effort to be present and receive 

 the inspiration that is bound to come 

 from meeting with these leaders of the 

 profession. ' E. A. Habvey, Pres.
