FAITH IN THE CAMPAIGN WORK. 

 M. W. Farr, Reading, Mass., writes: 

 "Enclosed find $10 for one year's 

 contribution to tlie advertising fund. 

 I thinlc this is a great thing for we 

 florists, and all should contribute, as 

 it will doubtless be returned many 

 times over." 



If all the florists would but have the 

 same faith in our work as Mr. Farr 

 has, we could reach our goal. Too 

 many florists are predisposed to argue 

 with themselves in a parsimonious 

 way. "Business is good," say they, 

 "Why should we pay to keep it so, 

 when there are others who gladly con- 

 tribute? They must help us if they 

 help themselves, therefore we need 

 not worry." This is not the true 

 American feeling. Such a thought is 

 evidence of disloyalty — disloyalty to 

 tie industry which makes a good liv- 

 ing possible. 



The Publicity Campaign was in- 

 augurated to benefit the whole trade, 

 not any particular part of it. The 

 splendid results from it have proved 

 this. That the demand for flowers has 

 increased through it is no longer ques- 

 tioned. Not a day passes when the 

 Secretary does not receive at least one 

 letter asking how flowers can be de- 

 livered at some distant point, and 

 every such letter is traceable to our 

 national advertising. This is only a 

 small instance of the good accom- 

 plished, but large enough to assure us 

 that the advertisements are being 

 read. We know for a certainty that 

 our slogan is working as we desired 

 it should. Ask any florist whose daily 

 business includes much of the tran- 

 sient variety how many of his custom- 

 ers refer to it. Look around you and 

 notice how often paragraphers in the 

 public press refer to it. Even the 

 state has taken it up. A once pop- 

 ular whisky slogan got similar pub- 

 licity sufflcient to insure an enormous 

 sale of the product, but its publicity 

 cost millions where ours is costing 

 mere thousands. Again, if our cam- 

 paign had done nothing more than 

 stimulate florists to direct a little pub- 

 licity for themselves, our efforts and 

 expense would not have been wasted. 

 Then why should a man hold aloof 

 from the movement from a parsimon- 

 ious standpoint? He is, to quote an 

 old saying, "Skinning a flint tor a half- 

 penny and spoiling a six-penny knife
