A TOPEKA FLORISTS- SCHEME 

 According to a newspaper item, W. 

 A. Bollinger, proprietor of The Ros- 

 ary, a flower shop at Topeka, Kansas, 

 has hit upon a new and very original 

 advertising scheme. The plan is to 

 provide a special room which has a 

 seating capacity of about twenty-five, 

 and quiet restful surroundings where 

 the weddin.g ceremony may be per- 

 formed. It seems that Mr. Bollinger 

 has guaranteed that all weddings car- 

 ried out in this room will be weddings 

 de luxe, so far as flowers are con- 

 cerned, it being his purpose to provide 

 not only the best of his blooms, but 

 also a bunch of flowers for the bride 

 to carry which will excite the envy of 

 all other Topeka damsels. It is stipu- 

 lated, of course, that the flowers must 

 be purchased from him. Mr. Bollinger 

 seems to be a keen business man. and 

 his arguments are not without weight. 

 He says that church weddings are ex- 

 ceedingly costly, and that many per- 

 sons cannot afford them because of 

 the expense of the decorations. By 

 accepting his offer, they can have as 



elaborate decorations as may be de- 

 sired, without extra expense. -Mr. 

 Bollinger figures out that he will get 

 a large amount of publicity from the 

 idea, although the weddings will be 

 conducted, of course, with entire pri- 

 vacy. According to the newspapers. 

 .Mr. Bollinger, doesn't hold the matter 

 wholly as one of business, but also 

 feels a certain sentimental interest in 

 the plan. I am sure that florists in 

 other cities will be interested to see 

 how the scheme works out.
