people from visiting the stores, how-

 to have exceeded the phone orders. 



Advertising Club Meets. 



The annual meeting of the Florists' 

 Advertising Club was held at the Be- 

 pnblican House, February 16. A de- 

 lightful dinner was served and an in- 

 teresting evening spent by those 

 present. 



Owing to the extreme weather con- 

 ditions, it was impossible for many to 

 attend and a quorum was not obtained, 

 preventing the election of officers. The 

 meeting voted a resolution to continue 

 with the present officers and board of 

 directors. 



President Hnnkel called the meeting 

 to order. The treasurer's report showed 

 that through the perfected Fox system, 

 the collections reached $12,000 for the 

 fiscal year, ended January 31. 



The secretary's report was interest- 

 ing, bringing out the point that the 

 overhead expenses of the entire adver- 

 tising activities for the year were but 

 eight per cent of the money spent. This 

 eight per cent included cuts, drawings, 

 stamps, office supplies, etc. 



The meeting was addressed by A. M. 

 Candee, advertising manager of the 

 National Enameling & Stamping Co. 

 His talk was plain, bringing out the 

 modus operandi of advertising in a 

 manner that showed that he understands 

 his subject well. 



A movement was started toward 

 forming a retail florists' association, to 

 further the particular needs of the re- 

 tailers. 



Suggestions were offered on changing 

 the name of the club and were carried 

 over to the next meeting. It was also 

 the voice of those assembled that two 

 meetings should be held each year, with 

 fixed dates so arranged that it would 

 eliminate, so far as possible, the lack 

 of attendance which adverse circum- 

 stances are liable to cause. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. M. O, Seeman, of Anderton & 

 Sceman, who has been quite ill since 

 early in December, has not yet regained 

 health. Mrs. Anderton is also ill, suf- 

 fering from a nervous breakdown. 



Carl C. Gruhl, night watchman at the 

 range of the Helton & Hunkel Co., was 

 found dead on the runway leading from 

 the boiler room by another employee 

 early Thursday morning, February 12. 

 Death was due to a hemorrhage, accord- 

 ing to the coroner. When he was dis- 

 covered, his hands were still grasping 

 the handles of a wheelbarrow. He was 

 married and was 65 years of age. 



J. P. McCarthy, representing the M. 

 Rice Co., Philadelphia, called on the 

 trade Friday and Saturday of last week.
