The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mahch 30, 1906. 



ADVERTISERS AND ADVERTISING. 



Why in Sam Hill don't your adver- 

 tisers keep their advertising up to date, 

 or, in other words, if they are sold out 

 of stock, why don't they cut out their 

 advertising until they are again in a 

 position to supply goods? During the 

 past week I sent away orders, in every 

 case accompanied by cash in payment 

 for different articles advertised in your 

 columns and out of six orders in no less 

 than four cases the money was returned 

 with regrets that stock was sold out. 



Now, Mr. Editor, you perhaps can be 

 congratulated, since it shows that the 

 Bevievst certainly sells the plants but 

 how about the man who wants to buy 

 and the man who has to return the money 

 because he cannot supply them? A man 

 who sends an advertisement to run for a 

 certain length of time and finds himself 

 sold out after one or two insertions 

 should certainly spend 2 cents in notify- 

 ing you to hold out his advertisement 

 until he was again in a condition to fill 

 orders. He would save money on the^ 

 deal and his prospective customers woma 

 save the annoyance of having to hunt 

 elsewhere. 



The florist has the reputation of be- 

 ing the poorest business man going, and 

 cases like this seem to prove it. When 

 the hardware man is sold out on stoves 

 he will advertise a cut in wire nails. 

 When the dry goods merchant finds his 

 stocks running low in shirt waists, he 

 calls special attention to his latest thing 

 in petticoats, but the florist drifts along 

 in the same old way whether he is sold 

 out on Enchantress cuttings or no. 



When I have anything to sell commend 

 me to the Review but in the meantime I 

 hope my brother florists will take these 

 remarks to heart. Citizen Fixit. 



[The publisher agrees most heartily 

 with the above. When you are sold out, 

 by all means stop the advertisement 

 promptly. Don't neglect it. It impairs 

 the value of your own next advertise- 

 ment and of all ot^er advertising to let 

 the dead offer stand. And just a word 

 on anpther point. If you cannot ship the 

 goods the day the order is received, by 

 all means send a postal card stating 

 when you will ship. You will find that 

 buyers will appreciate it.] 



DENVER. 



The Colorado Society of Florists had 

 a very successful meeting at the state 

 house March 24. J. A. Valentine was

 made, particularly of carnations, and 

 several essays were read.
