Flower Slogan
Pedigree Hazy
The dispute for credit for famous
sayings i* not fought only over the
bques of farnoua men centuries de?di,
there i* many a bitter battle being
fought over contemporary *ayings
Home of them in court ?u?U for infringement*
of copyrighted commercial
slogan* and name*. And one of
the Haying* which U perhaps more
widely known end quoted, parodied
and trnnnlated than any other com-j
mercial slogan, 1* among tho?c doubtful
brain-children. But far from being
an orphan it i* credited with several
father*. Thi* i* "Say it With
Flowers," the nationally ?dverti*ed
slogan of the American florist industry.
Some of the men credited with >t
are Peter Lindberg, of Rugby, N. D.?
Payne Jennings, of Chicago., H. Reeve
Darling, of Do* Angeles, Calif., and
Major O'Keefe, of Boston, Mass.
Durling and Lindberg are florists;
Jennings was an advertising representative
of the old Metropolitan
Magazine, and O'Keefe was formerly
in charge of the advertising of the
Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists, which body
has widely publicized the forceful
slogan in the last twelve years.
However, there seems to be more
certainty with regard to the ultimate
ancestry of the renowned slogan, at
least in the English language. In
Thomas Moore's "Language of Flowers,"
the following lines appear:
"Sweet flowers alone can say
What passion fears revealing."
Of u 11 the thousunds of references
to flowers in Knglish literature, an
exhaustive investigation presents
this as the nearest approach to the
present-day slogun.

against his iife, Ale A^^P was home
again today, thirty years,he said,
after he fled the nearby Cumberland
mountains of Virginia upon freeing
himself from a pile of burning logs,
assembled for* his funeral pyre.
Recalling his flight the aged mountaineer
said Hunt Hall, who la said
to have confessed the slaying of Artrip
on. his death bed. Hall said he
struck him with an axe, robbed him
and left him unconscious in the Are.
But he ^revived in time to escape the
flames, according to his story, and
left the country not to return as long
as Hall lived.
That was in the late nineties. Several
years later a human skeleton
was found and identified as that of
Artrip. Twenty years after he had
tied Hall made his confession and
died. Artrip did not hear of Hall's
passing until ten years later, meantime
making his home in Kentucky
and West Virginia.
The gray-haired and long forgotten
man returned to his hbme on
Thanksgiving day saying news of
Hull's death had just reached him.
