NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



The correctness of the theory of our 

 Publicity Committee that a good deal 

 of the apathy on the part of many 

 florists toward our Publicity Campaign 

 is not at all intentional is demonstrat- 

 ed frequently through letters arriving 

 at the Secretary's office. 



We are sure that the writers of 

 some of these letters will not mind our 

 making them public, especially as they 

 have all along been in sympathy with 

 the work. This week H. E. and C. W. 

 Krebs, florists and vegetable growers 

 of Cedar Rapids, la., wrote: "Here- 

 with find our cheque to help the good 

 work along. We more than likely have 

 reaped many benefits from the work 

 of the campaign, and we wanted to 

 send in our contribution a long time 

 ago, but were too busy making the 

 harvest, and when we would think of 

 it, we were not near the cheque book 

 and then when writing cheques, we 

 would not think of it. Reading over a 

 trade paper in our leisure time, the 

 writer noticed your appeal for more 

 funds in order to carry out your plans 

 to their fullest scope, and with guilt on 

 (lur conscience— that we have reaped 

 the benefits of someone else's time and 

 money— and so as not to go down as 

 one of the florist slackers, we gladly 

 contribute our amount. DouWless 

 many other florists are just like us. 

 and they will still have to be ham- 

 mered away at. The campaign is a 

 good thing and we expect to do our 

 part hereafter." 



We consider that a heartily good let- 

 ter, and are glad to publish it because 

 we know that many another florist 

 could conscientiously write along the 

 same lines, and after reading this may 

 do so. We do not believe, and never 

 have believed that florists are pur- 

 posely withholding support from this 

 glorious movement for the best inter- 

 ests of the trade. 



Here is another letter, from F. Fal 

 Ion, the retail florist of Roanoke. Va 

 ■ Enclosed find cheque, in sending 

 wliioh I feel as though I am merely 

 paying fare on a very good train, and 

 not making any sort of contribution." 

 Mr. Fallon hits the nail squarely on 

 the head. He is not really making a 

 •contTibution" as that word is gen- 

 erally used and understood, nor is any- 

 one else who has subscribed to the 

 campaign fund. "Paying fare" Is a 

 l>etter stating of it — we like it that 

 wav.
