Chicago McKINLEY MUSIC CO. New York
"A Window Display in Every City" and "A
Copy in Every Home" are the two slogans
adopted for "National One Fleeting Hour
Week," the week of January 15, when the Sam
Fox Publishing Co. will conduct a gigantic na-
tion-wide campaign on their great song suc-
cess.
The Fox Co. has prepared a great amount of
advertising matter including window strips, pos-
ters, pennants, retail circulars, title pages and
advertising cuts which will be supplied the
dealer if requested. The musical profession of
bands, orchestras, singers, etc., has been cov-
ered and thousands will feature this song during
"One Fleeting Hour Week."
Inasmuch as there is a large margin of
profit in this song for the dealer and a large sale
means money in his pocket it is generally pre-
dicted that Sam Fox will have the co-operation
of every music dealer in the country. There is
little doubt but what this campaign will greatly
increase the sale of this song and will make it
stand as the signal song success.
