The explanation is more than or dinarily energetic and wide-awake correspondent, Hal Kohn, FTD mem ber at Newberry, S. C.r and district representative of this state. He sent more than we had any thought of, but it semed that none could be left out. We do not know how good a florist he is—he advertises himself as Newberr’s “next best”-but if he is as good a florist as a reporter he is bound to be good. We would say he should be well started on that “first million” that is said to be the hardest. He handles books, and gifts, as well as flowers. “Although South Carolina is one of the smaller states in population, Kohn has led the country for several months running, in the number of new FTD members written up. He was one of the oiganizers of his state florists association, and was its first president, serving three terms, we beleive. He was a pinch-hitter as secretary of the Southeastern for a time. “Kohn is one of those rare charact ers whose face is constantly lighted up with a smile, a very becoming smile. Well, we suppose he loses his temper once in a while, and then per haps the smile turns to a frown; but we have never witnessed that phen omenon. He is by way of being a humorist, and advertises in original ways that provoke c smile. A folksy nand Jacobs, both of Clintort.
