Fox Has Plan for Fund. 



Charles Henry Fox had begun an ex- 

 position of his plan to establish a per- 

 manent publicity fund when a dozen 

 Western Union messengers rushed in 

 with the F. T. D. News extra, eight 

 pages in the usual cover, containing a 

 few items regarding the meeting, in ad- 

 dition to President Breitmeyer's ad- 

 dress. When these had been sold by 

 florists who wer«^ ex-newsboys, headed 

 by Charles H. Grakelow and Henry 

 Penn, Mr. Fox resumed his address. His 

 plan is for an endowment insurance 

 fund, to be established by florists, the 

 interest of which would be expended for 

 advertising. If 2,000 florists take out 

 policies for $1,000 each, a fund of $2,- 

 000,000 will be provided, the interest 



on which will be several times the 

 hitherto annual expenditure for na- 

 tional publicity. Fuller details will be 

 forthcoming when the publicity com- 

 mittee has made its definite plans. 



Entertainment. 



Ample entertainment was offered to 

 fill all the available spare time during 

 the two days. At noon, October 12, ev- 

 erybody had luncheon in the Eiley room 

 of the Claypool hotel, the guests of the 

 Indiana State Florists' Association, who 

 entertained again the following after- 

 noon with a 2-hour automobile ride about 

 the city, ending in a dinner at the 

 Athenaeum Club. 



The ladies had more ofPered them. In 

 addition to the events noted above, they 



enjoyed a supper of their own at the 

 Hotel Lincoln on the evening of Octo- 

 ber 12. They received tickets for the 

 motion pictures a^ the Circle theater 

 for Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon as 

 they chose. On Wednesday evening, 

 after the dinner at the Athenseum Club, 

 they had a theater party at Keith's 

 theater. 



An invitation came from the florists 

 at Eichmond to visit the greenhouses 

 and stores there and a party of about 

 fifty arranged to make the trip Thurs- 

 day, October 14, after the F. T. D. ses- 

 sions were over. The E. G. Hill Co., 

 Joseph Hill Co., Richmond Greenhouse 

 Co., Fred H. Lemon & Co. and George 

 R. Gause united in sending the invita- 

 tion.

No PREVIOUS session of the F. T. D. 

 has drawn such an attendance as 

 crowded the hotels of Indianapolis, Oc- 

 tober 12 and 13. The organization has 

 grown remarkably in the last year, now 

 numbering about 1,700 members. This 

 fact, coupled with the selection of a 

 meeting place in about the country's 

 center of population, resulted in a heavy 

 attendance — heavy, that is, for any so- 

 ciety but the S. A. F. In the neighbor- 

 hood of 300 attended the opening ses- 

 sion, which drew the largest number 

 of any. The ladies were more conspicu- 

 ous than at any previous F. T. D. meet- 

 ing. Those in attendance from out of 

 town were:
