NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



August F. Poehlmann, head of Poehl- 

 inaiin Bros. Co., Morton Grove and 

 t'hicago, HI., whose growing establish- 

 ment is the largest in the country, 

 says: "Summing up the results ob- 

 tained by collective advertising thus 

 far. I feel encouraged to go on with it, 

 and I hope to see every retailer, whole- 

 saler and grower tied up with this ad- 

 vertising campaign." 



In this sunnpary is voiced the 

 opinion generally of those who have 

 made this movement possible. It 

 ought to have some effect on the minds 

 of those to whom we look for assist- 

 ance in the continuance of the Cam- 

 liaign. Mr. Poehlmann. perhaps more 

 than anyone else, is in a position to 

 observe the beneficial results we 

 have obtained, and that is why he 

 recommends its continuance and ex- 

 lension. 



Last year our Publicity Committee 

 set the goal for $100,000, the fund 

 which it was believed should be spent 

 lor publicity. Their belief was based 

 upon the immense amount of profit- 

 able publicity we had obtained in the 

 previous year tor less than half that 

 sum. Their expectations, however, 

 only materialized to the extent of 

 nearly sixty per cent, but again we se- 

 cured publicity sufficient to swell the 

 prestige obtained in the previous year 

 and to increase the demand for flow- 

 ers very perceptibly. This year tlie 

 same goal was set, as our Committee 

 reasoned that, surely, now the florists 

 would perceive the importance and 

 profit in a vigorous prosecution of the 

 campaign. Up to this writing, how- 

 ever, less than one half of the re- 

 quired amount is collected. 



It cannot be said that the florists 

 are too poor to provide the amount re- 

 quired. Nor can we believe that they 

 are not anxious to increase the busi- 

 ness they are doing. Then what is 

 tbe reason for this holding back? Is 

 it that they are content to let their 

 more generous brother florists 

 shoulder the burden of expense, con- 

 tent to reap a share of the harvest 

 he provides, without a trifling aid 

 from their own pockets? There may 

 be some who have this idea, but in 

 the main it is not one characteristic 

 of the florist as we know him, always 

 ready and anxious to pay his way. Is 

 it because they have not faith in the 

 efficacy of the campaign? In this 

 case, they have Mr. Poehlmann"s
