CLEVELAND FLORISTS MEET. 



Regret Losing Big Show. 



One of the most enthusiastic meetings 

 ever enjoyed by the Cleveland Florists ' 

 Club was held at the Hollenden hotel 

 Monday evening, February 6. It was 



Eugene M. Naukam. 



the final meeting of a busy day for 

 Cleveland florists and growers. 



At the afternoon's meeting with the 

 nation.al committee, Cleveland was com- 

 pelled to consent to give up the national 

 show, the city being unable to complete 

 ill time our new $6,000,000 auditorium. 

 This was a great blow to our hustling 

 comniittt'e and the growers of this sec- 

 tion. Thousands of dollars had been 

 s]ient ill jirt'paration for the many ex- 

 liil)its from ("leveland and surrounding 

 territory. 



The n.itioiial committee left for In- 

 dianajiolis to make arrangements for the 

 national show. The Cleveland and Ohio 

 growers jiassed a uii;niimous resolution 

 to lend every supjiort to the success of 

 the show at Indianapolis. 



But Pledge Support. 



Much ;is Clevel.and regrets losing the 

 n.'itioiial show, it wiis .agreed by all pres- 

 ent that we shall be more than ready for 

 the next national show. 



After the ;idJoiirniiient of the national 



committee meeting, there was a meeting 

 of the growers. This meeting was also 

 enthusiastic and there was an optimistic 

 view for the coming year all through 

 everything discussed. 



In the evening the members of the 

 Cleveland Florists' Club filled the spa- 

 cious club rooms at the Hollenden hotel 

 to capacity. In the absence of Presi- 

 dent James McLaughlin, who was ab- 

 sent on .account of illness of his mother, 

 Carl Hagenburger presided. He cer- 

 tainly was a busy man, for two of the 

 most important subjects the club has 

 ever discussed were put over. The first 

 was the one per cent for advertising for 

 the coming year. This went over by 

 unanimous vote, as the records of the 

 club will show. 



Fine Short Talks. 



Splendid short talks on this important 

 subject were given by W. E. Cook, W. 

 H. Temblett, Carl Hagenburger and 

 many others. The presiding officer said 

 the motion was so important to Cleve- 

 land's success as a flower center that 

 he would call for a Rotarian roll call. 

 Everyone present as his name was csUled 

 answered with an emphatic "Yes." 



Resolutions to make the one per cent 

 for advertising operate immediately 

 were passed and Cleveland florists, grow- 

 ers and wholesiilers became a great co- 

 o])erative organization to make every 

 branch of the industry a success. Great 

 applause greeted the birth of the new 

 movement. 



The good things were just starting, 

 for next came the report of J. W. Wil- 

 son on the success of the annual banquet 

 of the Cleveland Florists' Club .at the 

 Hollenden liotel ballroom January 18. 

 This banquet was a great success. 



The ladies of the club were so pleased 

 that they suggested a social dance or en- 

 tertainment each month, the main ob- 

 ject being to get all members .and their 

 families better acquainted. All were in 

 favor and a number spoke on the good 

 to be accomjdished. 



A. F. Felton suggested that now was 

 the time to start a permanent home 

 fund. We could take the profits from 

 our monthly socials and create a build- 

 ing fund, to be used for getting a site. 



Everyone present got the spirit .and 

 one of our old members, who never 

 missed a meeting, said that this was the 

 best meeting in fifteen years. 



Then and there it was decided to give 

 the ladies encouragement and make a 

 beginning toward the permanent home 

 immediately. Mr. Kent, one of our 

 members, went up to the president's 

 table and st.arted the building fund. He 

 courteously gave way to Mrs. W. H. 

 Temblett, who will have the honor of 

 being the first subscriber to the Cleve- 

 l.and florists' future home. Subscrip- 

 tions cjime thick and fast and a good 

 start was made. 



Committees were appointed to make 

 the coming entertainment .and dance a 

 success. Tlie presiding officer had no 

 trouble in appointing committees, as 

 everyone wanted to help. 



Our worthy president, who was un- 

 .able to attend, will be more than pleased 

 that these two important things were 

 put over, one per cent for advertising 

 and a permanent home fund for the 

 Clevel.'tnd florists. James McLaughlin
