you as an up-to-date florist. About 

 one hundred signs have already been 

 placed, and there are more to go out. 

 The cost of a sign is $50, and is 

 well worth the money if used only to 

 hide a bit of unsightliness.

A meeting of the Publicity Commit-

 proval of the Committee, he was au- 

 thorized to send out. 



Mr. Asmus moved, and the motion 

 was seconded by Mr. Ammann. that the 

 sum of $20,000 be appropriated for ad- 

 vertising in the magazines during the 

 period ending with September. A roll 

 call vote was taken on the motion, and 

 it was carried unanimously, 

 to make the necessary arrangements. 



Mr. Swenson was given the floor to 

 explain a proposition he had made to 

 handle all the dealers' helps used in 

 the campaign from his office in Chica- 

 go, including a drive on the stickers, 

 posters and folders for Mothers' Day. 

 After some discussion, Mr. Ammann 

 moved that Mr. Swenson's proposition 

 be accepted; that all the Promotion 

 Bureau stock be turned over to Mr. 

 Swenson at his Chicago office, and that 

 he should render to the Secretary 

 promptly each week an account of all 

 sales made; and that the Secretary, or 

 other authorized person, have access to 

 sales records at any time for the pur- 

 pose of checking accounts; that Mr. 

 Swenson shall also submit at the an- 

 nual meeting of the Publicity Commit- 

 tee a regiilarly audited report in detail 

 covering sales and royalties due for 

 the year's work; and that on the twen- 

 tieth day of each month Mr. Swenson 

 shall forward to the Secretary's office 

 all monies collected on account of 

 sales; and that a committee of three 

 be appointed to draw up a contract 

 with Mr. Swenson on the terms ar- 

 ranged. The motion was seconded by 

 Mr. Pierson and carried. It was also 

 arranged that Mr. Swenson handle this 

 business under the style "Florists' Pub- 

 licity Service Bureau of the S. A. F. 

 and O. H., ' and that all cheques be 

 made payable to the Bureau.
