Parades May Not Have Sold Lilies—But—
Proof that Curry county recognizes the benefit to be derived by
holding a Lily Blossom Time parade may be found in the fact that
a Gold Beach float will be in the parade. Gold Beach people, de
spite the fact that they are holding a Fourth of July celebration,
will find time to place an entry. That is co-operative spirit.
If past experiences may be taken as examples, tourists will be
glad to stop here to view this colorful parade. The Pilot can recall
the first parade, in 1947, when traffic was backed up to Harris
Park to the north and into the Harbor district on the south, and
how people got out of their cars, put the kodaks to work, record
ing he spectacle. Who can be so blind as to say there is no adver
tising value to this delay?
Local firms, that year, claimed they actually sold out all the film
in town, for refill for those cameras. People would be doing this
if they had been provoked by the stoppage.
Perhaps the 1947 parade didn’t sell many lilies directly, Maybe
the 1948 parade had little more effect, and perhaps the 1949 parade
may not directly sell many lilies. However, if one can but add up
the accumulation, maybe there can be seen direct benefits.
In 1947 there was little sale for lilies. 1948 was considerable be tier
- and the Pilot has been informed that 1949 lily crop has been sold
- sold several months ago.
The Pilot cannot, neither does it attempt to tell people that these
past lily parades have created this new demand in lilies, but none
will be stupid enough to make an assertion that it didn’t help to
some extent. Certainly these parades never hurt the cause.
Some lily growers assert that these parades never sold a lily
for them, and as far as anyone getting any benefit from holding
such spectacles, the business men alone stand to profit. That, in
the belief of the Pilot, is speaking without thinking.
Last year, the Pilot knows, many businesses entered in the parade
and these floats cost quite large sums. Not one of these businesses
even started to reap any monetary reward. They merely saw the
benefit to be derived from advertising and were willing to spend
their proportionate share.
These1 businesses are aware of the economic value of the lily
crop. If the lily growers sell, the community benefits, not just
the lily growers. Selfishness cannot be tolerated if any community
wish. to grow and prosper there's no place for individualist now!
