NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



The Publicity Committee is to meet 

 in Indianapolis on October 12, during 

 the convention period of the Florists' 

 Telegraph Delivery Association. At 

 this meeting plans will be made for 

 additional publicity, and various de- 

 tails in relation to the campaign will 

 be discussed and arranged. 



One very important matter will en- 

 gage the attention" of the Committee, 

 and that is the non-fulflllment of the 

 subscription guarantees of a number 

 of subscribers. The committee have, 

 all along, been hampered in their 

 plans, because of money expected not 

 being available. The secretary has a 

 bunch of guarantees which have no 

 negotiable value, and unless those 

 who made them will honor them, they 

 only serve as reminders of so many 

 broken pledges. Statements were 

 recently mailed to all these delin- 

 quents, but the response would hardly 

 seem to have warranted the postal ex- 

 pense. It is hoped that these obliga- 

 tions will be discharged before the 

 committee meets, as the list of them 

 will not make pleasant reading. 



It should be a pleasure for any 

 florist, as well as a duty, to subscribe 

 to our campaign fund. There is abso- 

 lutely no doubt as to the benefit which 

 has, so far, been accomplished. Many 

 of us remember what Mr. Latshaw 

 told us, in Cleveland, the raisin pro- 

 ducers had accomplished through 

 their magazine publicity. He said; 

 "The raisin growers were unable to 

 market their entire crop, even at most 

 unsatisfactorily low prices — ruinously 

 low in fact. The per capita consump 

 tion of raisins per year in this coun- 

 try at that time was one pound. Thf 

 problem was to increase the consumii 

 tion of raisins. The Raisin Associa 

 tion did it with a national magazine 

 educational campaign. They pur- 

 chased beautiful color pages illustrat- 

 ing luscious raisin desserts that made 

 the reader's mouth fairly water in 

 anticipated delight. They suggested 

 to the housewife new. better and more 

 profitable ways to use raisins. And 

 as a result, in three years they raised 

 the consumption of raisins to three 

 pounds per capita. The price for 

 raisins today, while low. is satisfac- 

 tory, and instead of there being thou- 

 sands of tons to carry over, the crop 

 is thousands of pounds short." 



All we need is that the florists en- 

 thuse a little in this publicity work.
