 Houlahan, Ed. W. Kalisch, Herman A. 

 Knoll, Geo. Berner, Andre Bourdet, W. 

 W. Stertzing, William Dec, L. R. Smith 

 and Wm. A. Storck. Should all of the 

 new applicants be elected to member- 

 ship, the club would contain 196. Only- 

 four more arc needed to complete the 

 campaign drive for 200. 



On motion the club recommended the 

 name of W. J. Pilcher to President- 

 elect A. L. Miller, of the S. A. F., for 

 state vice-president for eastern Mis- 

 souri, and the secretary was instructed 

 to advise the president-elect of its rec- 

 ommendation. 



F. C. Weber then spoke on the Sun- 

 day closing question and in a lengthy 

 address api>ealed to the retailers, whole- 

 salers and growers to close shop on Sun- 

 day. 



The chair then appointed Messrs. 

 Bourdet, Grossart and Beyer to judge 

 the exhibition and report after a recess 

 of five minutes. J. S. Carter, head of 

 the Nicotine Mfg. Co., gave an interest- 

 ing talk on the work of the Red Cross 

 Society in St. Louis. 



A rising vote of thanks was extended 

 to Messrs. Schaeffer and Steitz for their 

 afternoon's entertainment. It was also 

 voted to send all cut flowers on exhibi- 

 tion to decorate the office of Mr. Wilkin- 

 son, head of the store. Treasurer 

 Smith 's report pleased, as it showed a 

 big gain in the club 's finances. A vote 

 of thanks was also extended the exhib- 

 itors. 



After adjournment the members were 

 served with refreshments, which were 

 much enjoyed by all present. 



Various Notes. 



The publicity committee held a meet- 

 ing November 9 at Bourdet 's to con- 

 sider plans for Thanksgiving advertis- 

 ing. Vernon Stiels, who sings ' ' Say It 

 with Flowers," was present and sang 

 the song for the benefit of the members. 

 He explained the great amount of pub- 

 licity he was giving the florists in every 

 city in which he sings the song. He 

 said that St. Louis was the first city in 

 which the song was introduced, while 

 Chicago would have it the week follow- 

 ing. It was decided by the committee 

 to send 500 roses to each performance, 

 to be distributed by the ushers during 



The Ever-Ready Flower Pot Cover 



The Ever-Ready Stands out Strongly in Meeting every Pot Cover 



Requirement 



Of What and How Made. It includes a 

 strong cardboard foundation the outside of 

 which is covered with best Quality Water- 

 proof crepe paper with fiber ribbon ties at 

 top and bottom, and all firmly put together 

 with improved metal fastenings. 



Low of Cost. It is supplied at low enough 

 prices to allow of gratis disposal, as the im- 

 proved appearance of the plant justifies ad- 

 vanced pricing that more than offsets its 

 cost. 



A Time and Money Saver. Compared 

 with trimming pots specially, with papers, 

 mattings and the like, itfreely saves flower 

 store workers' time and avoids the cost of 

 high-priced materials. 



For adapting with the varied colors and tints of blossoms and foliage these covers 

 are regularly supplied in the lollowing four standard colors, viz.: GREEN,- WHITE, 

 PINK. REU. 



Ever-Heady Covers are readily obtained of the leading dealers in Florists' Supplies 

 or by orders sent direct to us.

 performance with a bouquet of flowers.

 8 p. m., to discuss further advertising.
