NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The drive for St. Valentine's Day 

 business is just now very active. Our 

 Promotion Bureau has received over 

 four hundred order for stamps and 

 posters, some of the orders quite large, 

 a few calling for as many as 50,000 

 stamps and 100 posters each. These 

 stamps and posters are inexpensive 

 and are very valuable aids in local 

 publicity for what can be made one of 

 our leading flower days. Every florist 

 can use at least a few stamps, and cer- 

 tainly one poster for window display. 

 Both link up with our magazine adver- 

 tising, and he is a wise florist who 

 sends in his order right away. Thous- 

 ands of people are buying these stamps 

 and posters, reminded of a day when 

 sentiment should prevail, and flowers 

 should, above all things, be the med- 

 ium for its conveyance. The greater 

 the publicity given to the day the bet- 

 ter results for the florists, and, surely, 

 the small cost of the stamps and post- 

 ers should hardly be considered in the 

 matter. Wake up, and send in your 

 order if you have not already done so. 

 THE BILLBOARD SIGNS. 



With the holiday business out of the 

 way, the matter of the billboard signs 

 should now receive attention. Many 

 hundreds of florists have good loca- 

 tions for these signs on their own 

 properties, and an installation would 

 help each and every one, whether 

 grower or retailer. 



We are glad to have had the support 

 of some of the members of our Society 

 in arranging for installations. W. H. 

 Eiss of Buffalo, Secretary of the West- 

 ern New York Florists' Publicity Com- 

 mittee, has arranged tor the location of 

 twenty (20) billboards. Guy French, 

 of Morton Grove, 111., has promoted 

 orders for as many more. Wallace R. 

 Pierson of Cromwell, Conn., at a meet- 

 ing of the Hartford florists last week, 

 obtained pledges for ten (10) bill- 

 boards, a pretty good showing for 

 Hartford and vicinity. Many others of 

 our members could, in their communi- 

 ties, very easily arouse interest in this 

 feature of our Campaign, which should 

 create a tremendous amount of pub- 

 licity for our slogan "Say it With 

 Flowers." Secretaries of florists' Clubs
