over it." Just so long as he holds out 

 will the full measure o£ benefit from 

 the campaign be delayed. Now don't 

 be a skinflint, because it is easy to be 

 one. If our noble army of subscribers 

 had been skinflints, the florist business 

 would not be what it is today, prosper- 

 ous, and to be made more so when our 

 fund increases. 



What our committee needs now is 

 more money to work upon. We are 

 faced at this time with the problem of 

 providing for our fall advertising, 

 which includes Thanksgiving and the 

 Christmas holiday advertising, con- 

 tracts for which must be placed 

 months ahead of the dates of issue. 

 There is also much advertising for 

 ordinary every day business to be pro- 

 vided. It was surely noticed how well 

 floral gilts showed up in the Christ- 

 mas trade of last year. Help to make 

 it twice as good this year — it can be 

 done through judicious advertising. 



Why not give your support now. 

 when the committee so greatly needs 

 it? Send your cheque to the Secretary 

 right away — and don't worry as to the 

 amount; whatever you give will be 

 gratefully appreciated.
