bureau, ably did its part in making the 

 festival center the high spot of attrac- 

 tion during the rose festivals. 



Club a Civic Tactor. 



In 1916 S. W. Walker was elected 

 president and served two years, fol- 

 lowed by E. J. Steele, who likewise 

 served two years, our dependable old 

 standby, F. A. Van Kirk, taking the 

 post of secretary, which he holds to- 

 day. Berger Tonseth was elected pres- 

 ident in 1919 and reelected in 1920. In 

 1920 our outstanding public work was 

 again in the festival center, held two 

 weeks later than its accustomed date 

 on account of the Portland gathering of 

 the A. A. O. N. M. S., which brought 

 100,000 visitors to Portland, every one 

 of whom was enthusiastic over the dis- 

 play made. E. T. Mische prepared the 

 landscape plans and the city park bu- 

 reau supplied much of the plant mate- 

 rial, but without the practical aid of our 

 association members, the results would 

 have been far less gratifying. This 

 past season, with Mr. Mische, Mr. 

 Forbes and the energetic Mr. Van Kirk, 

 the central attraction in connection 

 with the Portland Rose Society was the 

 rose and flower show staged in the pub- 

 lic auditorium. We all of us still re- 

 member its beauty and attractiveness; 

 the crowds who attended certainly 

 showed their appreciation of its beauty 



The Man Who Wore 

 The Brown Derby 



Isn't it so, that some florists are tif;ht? 



Tighter than the hoop on a barrel when it comes to spend- 

 ing a dollar on advertising. 



They seem to figure out that because they know themselves 

 so all fired well, that it must be, everybody else does. 

 All of which reminds me of a story. A story of a fight, 

 after the fight was over. 



James J. Corbett, the pugilist, was walking down Broadway 

 some time ago, when he was a great popular hero. 

 An enthusiastic individual stopped him on the street, 

 grabbed his hand and began to "pump" it with great ardor. 



"Well, well! Hel-lo Jim, how are you?" exclaimed the fel- 

 low. Corbett shook his head and studied his face, but could 

 not recall having seen him before. "Ah, stand back there 

 and let me look at you. Just the same old Jim, ain't you? 

 How have you been all these years?" 



Corbett said, without much interest, that he had been fine, 

 whereupon the fellow exclaimed: "Why, Jim, I don't be- 

 lieve you remember me at all!" 



"Well, for the moment, I just can't recall you," said Corbett. 

 "Oh, shucks; yes, you do. Vou remember the time at New 

 Orleans, when you beat Sulli\an in 1892?" 



"Certainly I remember " 



"And you remember the enormous crowd that waited for you 



outside the arena and cheered you when jou came out?" 



"Yes, I can't forget a thing like that." 



"Well," came the triumphant yell, "I w a.s tlie fellow in the 



brown derby!" 



To which let me add, that long ago 1 found out that if I 



wanted others to know what 1 know Stumpp knows about 



the florists' business and filling F. T. D. orders the way they 



should be filled. Id liave to do something besides wear a 



brown derby. 



That's why I keep ri^ht on "throwing away " my money in 

 these talks you and I have togetlier every week, which every 

 time cost me $30.

and educational worth. Shows held by 

 us or in conjunction with us are success- 

 ful; our Oregon Florists' Club is now 

 recognized as a factor in civic move- 

 ment. What we purpose we perform. 

 Future planners of Portland festivals 

 appreciate and realize what results can 

 be secured in obtaining our cooperation 

 and assistance. We take pride in "de- 



livering the goods" as individuals and 

 as an association. 



Powerful in State Work. 



Not only in Portland are we becom- 

 ing known. We have assisted at the 

 Gresham county fairs and at the state 

 fair at Salem. Our assistance there has 

 brought results which I trust this year,
