NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



We have often had to comment up- 

 on attempts made to adapt our slogan, 

 "Say it with Flowers," to -other lines 

 of business, but it is rather new to us 

 to hear of anyone using it directly, 

 and changing their business terms to 

 suit the slogan. A printing and 

 stationery concern in Louisville, Ky., 

 which puts out a house organ of rare 

 quality made a "Say it with Flowers" 

 number of its recent issue. Instead, 

 of course, offering flowers, its adver- 

 tising matter referred to orders as 

 "flowers." A back page devoted to a 

 cartoon carried the slogan prominent- 

 ly, and it appeared on most of the 

 other pages. The substitution of in- 

 tent was, naturally, obvious, but the 

 slogan, in all the impressiveness of its 

 message, was there the most artful de- 

 sign of a perpetrator could not keep it 

 down. 



How many times have we spoken 

 of efforts made to pervert our slogan 

 to other uses? The practice is becom- 

 ing almost a continual performance. 

 The stage, the press, and devisors of 

 commercial literature are "sitting up 

 o'nights," devising ways and means to 

 pervert the slogan of the florists to 

 their own use — and it can't be done. 



Just think, all you florists who have 

 not subscribed to the Campaign Fund, 

 of the value of the slogan established 

 in your interests, and how it is coveted 

 by other lines of trade. And do you 

 not experience a twinge of conscience 

 because you have not helped to es- 

 tablish that slogan, preferring rather 

 that your more generous brother shall 

 pay the bills which have made estab- 

 lishment possible, and, incidentally, 

 raised your industry to prominence in 

 the eyes of the public. In other words, 

 as Mr. Latshaw put it, at the recent 

 Convention in Cleveland, you have al- 

 lowed yourselves to come in the cata- 

 gory of those who "crawl beneath the 

 canvas of the circus tent." 



For many weary months these week- 

 ly articles have been designed to bring 

 those who have not subscribed to the 

 fund to a sense of duty, not only to 

 themselves, but to their most generous 

 brethern who have made the general 

 acceptance of the message "Say it 

 with Flowers" possible. And we say 

 to these thoughtless ones, that we 

 realize the inattention they have given 

 to this most important movement has 

 not been intentional, that, at heart, 

 they are really good fellows, and will
