NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 

 The front cover page oC "Judge," 

 issue of August 7, designed by that 

 noted artist, James Montgomery Flagg, 

 lias for its subject "Say it with Flow- 

 ers." The drawing depicts a beauti- 

 ful girl offering to a very meek and 

 mild looking young man what many 

 who have seen the page at once be- 

 lieve to be a sprouted onion, although 

 the large scroll caption is plain enoguh. 

 "Say it with Flowers." Of course, it is 

 not an onion; no girl would have an 

 onion as part of her corsage bouquet, 

 ;uul from her bouquet her gift is evi- 

 dently drawn. We do not know what 

 the artist intended it to be, but we are 

 pleased to identify it as the "Poet's 

 Narcissus," and its presentation to the 

 young man intended to check a desire 

 for something better than mushy 

 poetry. Why, indeed, should he not 

 ■Say it with Flowers" to such a beauty. 

 Instead of expressing himself in 

 fervent verse. Why the lady is giving 

 him a sprouted bulb is, of course, her 

 affair— she might have meant that he 

 could grow to "Say it with Flowers." 

 Anyway, the mystery, if mystery it 

 be, has set a lot of people thinking, 

 and. vei-y naturally, our slogan is 

 uppermost in their thoughts. That's 

 where we come in. We have a dozen 

 or more letters before us, from florists 

 who also are puzzled, they want to 

 know whether the sketch is a "boost" 

 or a "knock." We have no right to 

 expect anything serious from a humor- 

 ous paper, therefore, we do not con- 

 sider it a "knock." We may not have 

 interpreted the sketch aright, but, any- 

 way, you buy a copy, "pay your money, 

 and take your choice." 



But we have all along contended 

 that no matter how it is used, the 

 slogan shows up for itself. It has been 

 used in the "funny" departments of 

 our newspapers constantly, showing 

 its appealing slogan. Does anyone 

 know of another slogan taken up as 

 ours is? It has been the object of our 

 Publicity Committee to make the 

 slogan a "household" phrase. Who 

 shall say that the humorists are not 

 helping us to this end. Some of the 

 world's biggest advertisers have not 

 hesitated to use humorous matter in
