NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



It was pleasing at the close of last 

 month to receive £rom the Broadway 

 Music Corporation, New York, a 

 check for $302.20, royalties due us on 

 the song "Say it with Flowers," com- 

 posed by Albert Von Tilzer, and sold 

 to the public. Over 30,000 copies 

 vvere put out, and we can only imagine 

 the amount of publicity we have re- 

 ceived, and are still receiving as the 

 song is rendered. We must not forget, 

 too, the very large number of occa- 

 sions when this song has been fea- 

 tured, sometimes with special stage 

 settings, and prominent artistes, in 

 theaters, music halls and cabarets 

 throughout the country. Additional 

 publicity has also been gained through 

 the distribution of the song as a phon- 

 ograph record, the Columbia Grapho- 

 phone Co., having, we understand, sold 

 many thousands of records, all of 

 which, it is fair to believe, are in con- 

 stant use. 



Another important addition to our 

 fund is the sum of $1,000 subscribed 

 at the convention of the Texas State 

 Florists' Association, Fort Worth, 

 July 20-22. This is an example of 

 effective organization work. The sub- 

 scription, of course, although made \\i> 

 of individual subscriptions, is outside 

 of the individual subscriptions from 

 Texas already reported. 



The members of our Publicity Com- 

 mittee feel greatly encouraged over an 

 increased interest in their work which 

 is becoming apparent. If every florist 

 in the country would but give proper 

 thought to the campaign, the neces- 

 sary funds to carry out the commit- 

 tee's plans would soon be forthcom- 

 ing. They have accomplished won- 

 ders with the amount of money made 

 available for them. Mr. S. R. Latshaw 

 a noted publicity expert, recognized 

 this in the address he made before 

 the Cleveland convention of the so- 

 ciety. He said: "You have a wonder- 

 ful slogan, one of the best, probably, 

 in all of the various forms of adver- 

 tising. With the amount of money 

 I hat has been put at the disposal of 

 your committee, I say to you from 

 twenty years of experience, during 

 which time probably more than $100,- 

 000.000 of advertising has passed 

 through my hands, that I know of no 

 case when advertising has been done 

 so successfully for so trifling a sum as 

 has been expended up to the present 

 by your society. You have in your 

 catch line. 'Say It with Flowers,' a
