R. W. Heffelfinger, secretary-treasurer of the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers, has
made the following announcement regarding a
prize to be offered for the most practical article on
the building up of the sheet music business, to be
published in the trade papers during the year. In
his letter Mr. Heffelfinger says regarding the prize
offer:
"I wish to call your attention to the fact that the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers have
decided to offer a prize of $25 for the most prac-
tical article on, or suggestions for, building up the
sheet music business, which may be submitted dur-
ing the current year.
"This article may take the form of practical hints
or suggestions for better handling of customers,
better arrangement of stock, improved stock rec-
ords, or methods of display; or may be upon the
general question of the N. A. S. M. D. and the best
methods for increasing its influence in the upbuild-
ing of trade conditions.
"There are no restrictions as to entrants, but
anyone connected with any branch of the music
business is eligible.
"The prize will be awarded by the officers of the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers, and
the articles in question may be submitted either to
the secretary or to the trade papers. If the latter
is done, the contestant is requested to notify the
secretary of the general scope of the article.
"Short, pithy articles and suggestions are of the
greatest value, and it is hoped that the competitors
may evolve some matters of general benefit and in-
terest to the entire trade."
THE "MILWAUKEE FIRST" MARCH.
(Special to The Review.)
MILWAUKEE, WIS., July 20.—The "Milwaukee
First" march, the stirring new piece recently dedi-
cated to the Merchants and Manufacturers' As-
sociation of Milwaukee by Paul Miedtke, a rising
young composer of this city, has been placed on the
program by Prof. Bach, musical director in charge
of the park concerts, and is now being featured at
the various concerts in the different city parks.
The new piece was given a real ovation at its first
rendition at Lake Park recentlv.
A PLEASINGMNEW WALTZ.
"Springtime of Youth" is the title of a very
charming hesitation waltz that has recently been
issued by the Maurice Richmond Music Co. The
new waltz is by Walter Rolfe, writer of the "Kiss
of Spring," and from present indications it will
equal if not surpass the record made by the latter
number. The waltz has a pretty melody and is
much in demand with orchestra and band leaders
throughout the country.
Mother—Willie! How often must I tell you not
to whistle at the table?
Father—It's your own fault, my dear. You in-
sist on taking him to see that cabaret show, and
now he's trying to give us one.
