NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



At a meeting of the Publicity Com- 

 mittee held in New York on March 

 18, the Committee gave instructions 

 that arrangements be made to cover 

 magazine advertising until September 

 to the extent of $20,000. This was .in 

 amount much less than it was antici- 

 pated could be spent as funds had not 

 come in as the committee had a right 

 to expect they would. They believed, 

 however, that the slogan "Say it v/ith 

 Flowers" could be maintained, special 

 flower days taken care of, and im- 

 petus given to regular daily business 

 with a proper use of the money. They 

 had hoped to have had twice as much 

 available at this season, and they 

 would have had it had the now very 

 large army of non-subscribers re- 

 sponded to the appeals so constantly 

 made to them. 



There was a very large attendance 

 of the trade at the flower show held 

 in New York during the week the 

 Publicity Committee held its meeting. 

 The campaign woi-k was the subject 

 of conversation among the many little 

 groups gathered at different times in 

 the Grand Central Palace, and it was 

 generally agreed that it was wrong 

 to call one who had subscribed to the 

 Publicity Fund a contributor, he 

 should be called an investor, because 

 his subscription was an investment 

 rather than a contribution. All were 

 greatly pleased at the result of the 

 campaign so far, and expressed them- 

 selves as willing to go the limit in 

 their support. 



The Von Tilzer song, "Say it with 

 Flowers," is now. we are informed, to 

 go out as a phonograph record through 

 one of the big companies. Judging 

 from its reception everywhere, as a 

 vocal number, the sale for it as a 

 record should be large, and the pub- 

 licity for the slogan immense and 

 lasting. This is only one of the 

 sources for publicity of a valuable 

 sort which our committee has been 

 able to promote, and which costs us 

 practically nothing. 



Have you thought anything of our 

 billboard proposition yet? Spring is 

 here, and the ground is being opened 

 everywhere. Very shortly that never 

 ending line of travel past your estab- 

 lishment, if you are on a good high- 

 way, will begin to move for the sea- 

 son, and a billboard properly dis- 

 played would add to our publicity a 

 good deal, and, incidentally, identify
