proved to be on Broadway.

"LADY CLAIRE" ^ L O S ANGELES HIT
A BELIEVER IN ADVERTISING
R. W. Heffelfinger Has a Strong Number in
His Catalog—Composer a Newspaper Man
Chas. N. Daniels, of San Francisco, Issues a
Snappy Poster for Benefit of Dealers
Los ANGELES, CM.., November 11.—R. W. Heffel-
finger, the well-known sheet music dealer of this
city, and who is the secretary of the Music
Dealers' Association, does quite an extensive
music publishing business on the side, and has,
in several instances at least, met with con-
siderable success in this direction. One of his
most recent introductions to the market is
"Lady Claire," a sentimental song, both words
and music being by Charles Fritzsche. The
melody is especially catchy, and the piece has
locally proved quite a success, being a popular
number with the cafe orchestras and for various
musical entertainments.
Mr. Fritzsche, the
composer, is telegraph editor of the Los An-
geles Times.
Chas. N. Daniels, music publisher and dealer
of San Francisco, is a firm believer in the ef-
fectiveness of snappy publicity, and lives up to
his ideas. He recently issued through the mail
a handsome poster of original design, bearing
the caption: "Things Worth Knowing," in-
cluding his creed, the first paragraph of which
reads: "I believe the business of publishing
and selling good music is the best business in
the world." The poster carries a list of the
good sellers on the West Coast from the cat-
alogs of the various publishers, and some good
matter about Mr. Daniel's own publications, in-
cluding his Hawaiian Dreams Waltz.

tured.
