PUBLICITY AND PROGRESS 



S. A. F. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



Slogan Becoming Familiar. 



Thoreau is quoted as saying, "Most 

 men lead lives of quiet desperation." 



To get the public mind concentrated 

 on flowers, especially in these troublous 

 times, IS hard indeed for an individual 

 to attempt; in fact, nothing but a des- 

 perate eifort would be rewarded with 

 success. One of the ideas back of our 

 puDlicity campaign was to make an or- 

 f^"?^f/^ effort to do this thing, in order 

 tnat the florists might cut this despera- 

 tion out of their business lives and en- 

 joy a better demand for plants and flow- 



ers. And who shall say our committees 

 have not succeeded? 



Through our magazine advertising 

 many thousands of people have turned 

 their minds to flowers as mediums for 

 the expression of sentiment under 

 various conditions. Every mail brings 

 to this office numbers of letters from all 

 parts of the country requesting copies 

 of our little booklet, ' ' Say It with Flow- 

 ers, " and information in regard to fill- 

 ing orders in distant cities. This result 

 is gratifying to us, even though repre- 

 senting only a fraction of the interest 

 which is aroused by the publicity our 

 fund provides. 



Our slogan has even had expression

on the stage. We are informed that 

 recently in a vaudeville performance, 

 during a pause in a dual song-and-dance 

 act where, according to custom, a little 

 banter passes between the partners, the 

 male of the duet made a stammering 

 protestation of love to the female, 

 whereupon the latter said: "Oh, cut it 

 out and say it with flowers." This 

 brought a hearty laugh from the 

 audience, which, it is quite fair to as- 

 sume, recognized the slogan. 



The Dealers' Helps. 



Gradually but irresistibly our slogan 

 is taking hold. Any florist who is not 

 giving it a personal push is making a 

 mistake. Our promotion bureau is pro- 

 viding the means for a push through the 

 dealers' aids service. The beautiful 

 glass sign displayed in any store window 

 says "Say It with Flowers" all day 

 long and every day. If this sign at $2 

 is considered an extravagance, then 

 there is the decalcomanie sign, supplied 

 in units of four, in sizes for windows 

 and door panels, at $1 per unit. Our 

 bureau has supplied hundreds of these 

 transfer signs, but ought to place ten 

 times the number. There are stickers 

 in three sizes, suitable for afSxing to 

 envelopes, boxes, express packages and 

 the like, the use of which connects the 

 slogan to an individual establishment.

 picture houses are works of art at 

 chrome prices. Our electrotype service,
