NATIONAL, PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



Letters such as the following are 

 gratefully appreciated by our Public- 

 ity Cammittee: 



Bloomington, 111.. 

 Februai-y 17, 19l'n. 

 Mr. John Young, Secretary. 

 Dear Sir: 



Your statement for $50 to cover our 

 1920 pledge to the Publicity Fund is 

 at hand. We are making our cheque 

 $100, both because we think it is a 

 good Investment and is an expression 

 of our appreciation of the work the 

 Committee is doing for the good of the 



cause The greatest good 



will come in a year or two, or three 

 from now, when production more near- 

 ly catches up with the demand. 



A. Washburx & Sons." 



A few carping critics have seen fit 

 to question the wisdom of launching 

 our Campaign at the time we did. Re- 

 sults have proved that such launch- 

 ing was the greatest and most benefi- 

 cial move ever made in the history of 

 the florists' trade. To imagine that a 

 continuance of the Campaign because 

 of an apparent shortage of flowers is 

 an unwise step is wrong. What has 

 caused the shortage, if not demand? 

 There are as many growing estaiblish- 

 ments as ever, and, as far as is known, 

 practically everyone is going at full 

 tilt. At any rate there are no more 

 idle than is always the case. Has any 

 particular glut been recorded since 

 the Campaign started? Was not every 

 market bothered with periodical gluts 

 before we became active with our pub- 

 licity movement? The Wkshbunis are 

 right. The greatest good will come 

 later on. Demand will not be allowed 

 to exceed supply for long. Produc- 

 tion is already increasing, and, natu- 

 rally, will continue to increase. We 

 must expect it, and we must prepare 

 for it. 



In spite of increased labor cost, and 

 advanced cost of materials, have 

 growers ever enjoyed as good returns 

 for their products as they have of 

 late? Yet the growers as a class have 

 not supported our Campaign to the 

 extent expected of them. They evi- 

 dently have not given our movement 

 the serious thought it surely deserves. 

 They have been content to profit 

 through the better movement of their 

 products brought about by the Cam- 

 paign, without contributing to the ex- 

 pense of the work. Surely the sub- 

 scriptions from growers should be on
