The Florists^ Review 



Decbmbeb 12. 1918. 



WELL WOBN PHRASES. 



Some common phrases become trite, 

 while others commend themselves as 

 pithy and terse expressions carrying a 

 meaning that can be conveyed so con- 

 cisely in no other words. Of such is 

 the phrase that is repeated in the let- 

 ters appended, as well as in numberless 

 others like them that come to the office 



of The Eeview in a constant stream. 

 "Sold out," and "all sold," said of 

 stock advertised in the Classified col- 

 umns by florists east and west, north 

 and south, tell the story of prosperity 

 in few words and in convincing terms. 

 Volumes might be written about the 

 value of publicity and the necessity of 

 selecting the proper medium, but the 

 apposite statements of our advertisers 



give the facts "in a nutshell" for all 

 who have stock to sell. Like these: 



Kindly discontinue our vlnca ad. We are sold 

 out of vlncas. — L. G. S. Snyder, Dayton, 0., No- 

 vember 30, 1918. 



Cut out our ads for pansies and cinerarles. All 

 sold. — Evenden Bros., WlUiamsport, Pa., Decem- 

 ber 2, 1918. 



Kindly stop our snapdragon ad at once, as we 

 are all sold out. We sold 13,000 plants from two 

 insertions. — John H. Lundgren, Minneapolis, 

 Minn., November 30, 1918.
