National Publicity Campaign 



Referring to the rather apathetic 

 spirit shown toward the Campaign by 

 a rather large number of florists 

 throughout the country. Joseph Ko- 

 hout, of L-ibertyville. 111., expresses his 

 sympathy with the Publicity Commit- 

 tee on account of the slow response 

 of the craft to appeals for just con- 

 tributions to the Campaign Fund, as 

 follows: — "They have my sympathy, 

 and admiration at the same time for 

 sticking to such a thankless job — but 

 for goodness sake, don't give up the 

 ship, we shall all need that publicity 

 in the very near future." 



Mr. Kohout is right. We shall most 

 certainly need all the publicity we can 

 get in the near future. We need it 

 now. We need it to keep in effect the 

 great benefit we have derived from 

 our work of the past two years and 

 more. The result we have accom- 

 plished cannot stand for permanence 

 unless kept continually freshened by 

 further effort. We all of us have sure- 

 ly in mind a few of the great adver- 

 tising campaigns in recent years. 

 which, with the commodities adver- 

 tised, are now mere memories. Their 

 great results petered out because hav- 

 ing been obtained it was thought they 

 would stand unsupported. 



Were we to cease in our efforts to 

 keep "Say it with Flowers" before the 

 public, the slogan would quickly be 

 forgotten. We should be unjust to our- 

 selves if such a thing should happen. 

 The impression we have made already 

 is worth considerably more than a few 

 paltry dollars to every florist in the 

 land. A florist cheerfully pays his in- 

 surance bills to protect him against 

 losses by fire or other destructive 

 agent, and when he contributes to our 

 Campaign Fund, he should, feel that 

 he is protecting his business against 

 dry rot — which he really is. with the 

 cooperation of the best of his brother 

 florists. 



Our Committee will meet in Cleve- 

 land next month, during the Conven- 

 tion of our Society, and a session of 

 the Conventionn will be set apart 

 mainly for the discussion of matters 

 in connection with the Campaign. Is 

 your name on the list of contributors 

 to be presented at that meeting? If 

 not. don't you think it ought to be'' 

 Why not help to make the "thankless 

 job" Mr. Kohout refers to one of 

 pleasure? The Committee does not 

 mind the work, or the responsibility
