MCHIGAN CUT FLOWER EXCHANGE, 264-266 Randdith St., Detroit, McL 



of the entertainment committee, told 

 me there will not be a dull moment dur- 

 ing the entire evening. Mayor Broen- 

 ing has accepted an invitation and will 

 be present. Every florist in the city 

 owes a debt of gratitude to His Honor, 

 as he has done more to boost "Say It 

 with Flowers" than any other man in 

 this city. Another feature of the eve- 

 ning will be the elaborate floral decora- 

 tions. The young fellows are all ex- 

 perts at the art and do most of this 

 work in our city. "With several of the 

 older florists, who have gained renown, 

 on the committee in advisory capacity, 

 they purpose to show the members of 

 the trade what they can do. It will be 

 a great treat for the members of the 

 trade, at the beginning of what prom- 

 ises to be one of the most successful 

 years in the history of the business. An- 

 other feature will be our out-of-town 

 guests: Philadelphia and Washington 

 will both be with us. This will give 

 everyone an opportunity to renew old 

 acquaintances and make new ones. No 

 one can afford to miss this get-together 

 occasion. The tickets are limited, so 

 get into touch with any of the whole- 

 sale houses, or Albert M. Fiedler, 902 

 South Charles street, at once and re- 

 serve your tickets. 



One of the greatest problems that the 

 farmers of this country have to face is 

 how to get their sons interested in their 

 calling and keep them on the farm. As 

 the generation becomes older, they real- 

 ize that unless they can get the boys 

 interested in the work it will be only 

 a matter of time until there will be no 

 one to take their places. Now, none of 

 us likes to admit we are getting old, but 

 at the last meeting of the club, when 

 the officers for the ensuing year were 

 nominated, there was no doubt that 

 there was some deep thinking along this 

 line. And so a young hustler, like "Wil- 

 liam F, Ekas, was selected for president. 

 On top of this, Robert L. Graham, Jr., 

 was chosen for vice-president, that he 

 might be in training to succeed Mr. 

 Ekas, at the expiration of his term. A 

 real live wire was chosen in C. Harry 

 Wagner for financial secretary, with 

 young Albert Fiedler for treasurer. 

 These boys are going to make some of 

 us old veterans (who sometimes are 

 proud of the fact, and like to boast 

 about being charter members of the 

 club) move some to keep up with them.

These boys are starting their adminis- 

 tration right; you can begin to feel the 



"pep" already. Well, there is nothing 

 the club needs so much as just this.
