CENTURY LIBERTY BOND CONTEST
Century Music Publishing Co. Announces Re-
sults of Most Successful Contest—Those
Who Have Been Awarded the Prizes
The Liberty Bond Contest, one of the most
successful contests ever conducted by the Cen-
tury Music Publishing Co., has just been closed.
The contest was spirited from the time of the
initial announcement until the day on which it
was closed. More than five hundred dealers
competed and seventeen prizes were awarded.
Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps were the prizes
and were awarded on the number of points the
dealers competing had in their totals.
The judges appointed to decide the contest
were Walter Vaughn, president and editor of
the New York Clipper; B. B. Wilson, editor
of the Music Section, The Music Trade Review,
and B. M. McClellan, of the Music Trades. The
winners were as follows:

TO OUR FRIENDS-THE MUSIC DEALERS
On good authority we hear that the biggest advance
orders ever placed for a record are being received for
John McCormack's Victor Record No. 64773

(to be released on June 1st)
The initial output of this record will run into hundreds of thousands—assuredly
proof beyond doubt that
The Greatest Ballad of the Times
IS
"God Be With Our Boys To-night"
The sale of Song copies will be enormous; there is every indication of a new
top figure being reached.
Every Dealer who wants to turn over a quick and generous profit

contest for the splendid effort made. And to
all those who co-operated and did not enroll is
due our sincere appreciation, as it was only
through the combined efforts of every dealer
who lent a helping hand that it was possible
to achieve the enormous success we did in this
biggest of all advertising campaigns. It has en-
couraged us to keep up the good work for your
direct benefit. Thanks to all of you for the
part you played."
SECURE RIGHTS FOR NEW NUMBER
Leo Feist, Inc., have acquired the American
rights for Ivor Norvello's "The Radiance In
Your Eyes." This high-class number has already
received much popularity in England and the
Feist firm has placed the number in their stand-
ard catalog and will probably start a campaign
to popularize it in this country.
