NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



To florists who wish to work up a 

 little local publicity in a novel way, it 

 is suggested that they take advantage 

 of the opportuiUty presented in most 

 of the larger moving picture houses, 

 especially those mr.king vaudeville a 

 feature, for featuring the official "Say 

 it with Flowers" song. Orchestra 

 scores as well as the vocal score are 

 available through the publishers, and 

 the proper rendition of the song is 

 demonstrated in the Columbia phono- 

 graph record now to be had of any 

 Columbia dealer and which is fully en- 

 dorsed by the composer. Several flo- 

 •rists in the smaller towns have at- 

 tempted this feature with great suc- 

 cess, and with the distribution of a 

 few flowers to an audience it is said 

 to be "big stuff." It is well worth a 

 trial. Incidentally, it might be said 

 that the song, as a headline I'eature at 

 the Palace Theatre, New York, and a 

 Iirominent theatre in Buffalo, last week 

 increased its standing as a popular 

 ■hit." 



We are drawing very near to 

 Mother's Day, one of the two big flower 

 days remaining for us this season. 

 Florists who are not using the posters 

 and other aids for this day's public- 

 ity available at the "Florists' Publicity 

 Service Bureau of S. A. F. and 0. H., 

 4.31 So. Dearborn Street, Chicago," are 

 making a mistake, as the day cannot 

 possibly be over-advertised as one for 

 gifts of flowers — and mothers, as a 

 rule, particularly the elder ones, have 

 many loving hearts right within their 

 family circles willing to pay homage 

 on this day, if they are not allowed to 

 forget. A liberal poster display is 

 equal to a good many finger strings 

 lor memory-jogging purposes. Again, 

 these aids tie up very well with the 

 magazine advertising of our Cam- 

 paign. 



Reference has frequently been made 

 to the growing use of flowers as sub- 

 jects for the embellishment of maga- 

 zine advertisements. 'Who has not 

 seen the beautiful advertisements in 

 colors of a prominent corset manufac- 

 turer, in which flowers are made to 

 dominate the design. "Printers' Ink 

 Monthly," a magazine advocating art 

 in advertising in reproducing one of 

 these advertisements as an artistic ex- 

 ample, says: "This company is to be 

 congratulated on getting away from 

 the customary display of a corseted 

 figure, for without question this pic-
