costs money, but very little wlien the 

 returns are taken Into account, and 

 you are only asUed to contribute a 

 mere trifle toward the expense? 



Is it impossible for you to determine 

 that you will scud in this "mite" the 

 committee needs so much in order to 

 increase and perpetuate the good al- 

 ready obtained? A tenth o( one per 

 cent, of your profits would, perhaps, 

 make a very respectable contribution. 

 If every florist making a living from 

 our industry would contribute even 

 this small fraction of his income our 

 committee would not have to be con- 

 tinually appealing to those who in the 

 circumstances should need no appeal, 

 and who should really be most anxious 

 to keep going and extend a movement 

 productive of so much good to them 

 in a business way. 



Don't be afraid to contribute because 

 yours may be but a small mite — there 

 is nothing to prevent you adding to It 

 at any time. A five dollar contribution 

 is accepted in the spirit in which it is 

 given. Many who originally sent in 

 this amount increased it as their In- 

 terest deepened. When you once make 

 a subscription youi are apt to take a 

 broader view of our work, and you 

 no longer look upon your support In 

 the way of a donation, you believe it 

 to be a mighty good investment — and 

 that's what it really is.
