NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The Campaign for 1920 opens under 

 very auspicious conditions. The flor- 

 ists' industry is in most satisfactory 

 shape, and complaints as to poor busi- 

 ness are rare indeed. The general de- 

 mand for flowers is running a close 

 race with supply. Our wholesale mar- 

 kets are discharging their heavy loads 

 without signs of gluts in any direc- 

 tion. The horizon of business is clear, 

 and prices were never so remunera- 

 tive. These conditions have, in the 

 main, prevailed since the opening of 

 the fall season. 



Can anyone question that our Pub- 

 licity Campaign has not had a great 

 deal to do with this? The public 

 think of flowers now as they never 

 did before. Sentiment, which should 

 be a large factor in creating a demand 

 for our products, has been aroused to 

 a remarkable extent, and gifts of flow-- 

 ers are becoming of common occur- 

 rence where not long ago they were 

 altogether too rare. 



The meaning of our slogan is well 

 understood, and "Say it with Flowers" 

 conies readily to mind at the right 

 time. 



The reports covering the Christmas 

 business throughout the country with- 

 out exception describe the volume as 

 unusually large, and most of it record- 

 breaking in character — and this in 

 spite of, perhaps, the highest prices 

 ever experienced by the public. In 

 many localities it was impossible to 

 obtain sufficient stock, to meet the de- 

 mand. A Western florist in writing 

 our Promotion Bureau intimated that 

 he was prepared to increase his con- 

 tribution to the Publicity Fund. The 

 demand for flowers was very great, 

 he said, and due, of course, to the 

 Campaign. 



Our efforts certainly have been re- 

 warded with success, in measure far 

 greater than could have been antic- 

 ipated. The predictions of our large 

 band of optimists have been entirely 

 fulfilled, and we are going into the 

 year just opened to us with the feeling 

 of satisfaction that we are not experi- 

 menting, we are not taking chances, 

 tor we know absolutely that the money 

 we have expended is returning to us 

 with the proverbial hundredfold in- 

 crease, and much more. 



Just think this over, Mr. Non-Sub- 

 scriber, and ask yourself what you
