INCREASE IN "KEYSTONE" PRICES
LARGE STOCK OF SMALL GOODS

Weymann & Son Announce Price Increases on
This Line of Small Goods
B. E. Pudney Reports Good Trade, and Has
Large Stock of Goods on Hand
II. A. Weymann & Son, music dealers of
I'hiladelphia, Pa., are sending an announcement
to their dealers of the necessary price increase
of the '"Keystone State" line of musical instru-
ments which they produce. This advance is
caused by the increased cost of raw materials
together with the increased labor cost. All or-
ders are being impartially filled in the order
they are received, and dealers are asked in the
letter to anticipate their requirements as far in
advance as possible for their own protection.
II. K. I'udney, music dealer of Sidney, X. Y.,
reports an excellent trade in musical merchan-
dise.
Mr. Pudney carries a stock of small
goods valued at $30,000, most of which was pur-
chased two or three years ago, before the price
increase on all lines of small goods had become
as great as it is at present, and he therefore is
enabled to supply the demand for almost any
kind of an instrument, and at very reasonable
prices.
H. L. Hunt, manager of the musical merchan-
dise department of Chas. H. Ditson & Co., 8
Hast Thirty-fourth street, New York City, has
recently organized a concert company to visit
the various embarkation camps in the vicinity.
Chas. If. Ditson & Co., as was announced
some time back, have repaired free of charge
musical instruments that were donated to the
boys in service. Mr. Hunt's interest in the
matter was aroused through the enthusiasm
with which these instruments were received and
the need for musical entertainment.
Mr. Hunt is a tenor soloist of much repute
and appears frequently in concert work. He
has gathered around him two exceptional
pianists, a soprano and a violinist, all artists.
Their work is entirely non-sectarian and their
services have been lent equally to the Y. M. C.
A., the Y. M. H. A. and the Knights of Colum-
bus.
Their aim has been to provide musical
entertainment for the boys of an entirely clean
and wholesome nature, and that their efforts are
appreciated is shown by the hearty applause that
their numbers call forth.
Mr. Hunt reports that the three most popular
numbers in their repertoire seem to be "The
Kilties March," "Bon Jour Ma Belle" and an
ensemble arrangement of "Carry Me Back to
Old Virginia" for a tenor and soprano duet
with violin obligato, all Ditson publications.

SEPTEMBER 14,
1918
CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
NEW CENTURY PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
Advertisements of Century Edition to Be Car-
ried in Thirty Newspapers of the Country—
Will Supplement Magazine Advertising
The Century Music Co., who during the past
few years have advertised their musical works,
which are mostly non-copyrights in national
publications, are using an entirely new method
of reaching the buying public this year. For
the start of the fall campaign they have taken
space in thirty-one daily newspapers. Each
paper will carry three insertions of their an-
nouncements, one each in the last two weeks
of September and one in the first week in Oc-
tober. The total circulation of the papers used
is over 3,500,000, and the three insertions will
total a circulation of over 11,000,000. It is fig-
ured the advertisements will be read by over
30,000,000 people.
In addition to the daily newspaper advertis-
ing a full page will appear in the October issue
of Good Housekeeping, followed by a quarter
of a page in the November issue of the Ladies'
Home Journal. Throughout the coming season
the national publicity will be carried on as here-
tofore, and it is stated that if the dealers see
the value of this new publicity and co-operate
with the company much of the future appro-
priations will be spent in the daily papers. Of
course, this is a much more direct method of
making the announcements local from the deal-
ers' standpoint. Among the publications to be
used are Chicago Tribune, St. Louis Post-Des-
patch, Boston Post, San Francisco Examiner,
Los Angeles Examiner, Portland Oregonian,
Seattle Times, Houston Chronicle, Richmond
Virginian, Denver News, Wilmington News,
Washington Times, Fort Wayne Star, New Or-
leans Times, Picayune, Baltimore Star, Detroit

une, Lincoln Star, Trenton Times, Albany Jour-

Miss Amy Ashmore Clark Appointed Head of
Concert and Teachers' Department of That
Company—Great Progress During Year
Bandmaster at Washington Navy Yard Writes
of Appreciation of Pace & Handy Music—
Many Professionals Using Company's Songs
Artmusic, Inc., the well-known publishers of
standard music, announce they have appointed
Miss Amy Ashniore Clark as the head of the
concert and teachers' department of the com-
pany. Miss Clark is a well-known composer,
having been connected with the writing staffs
of some of the larger music publishing houses.
She has spent many years in theatrical and con-
cert work and has appeared in public herself
in recitations. Probably her best-known song
is "My Rosary for You," of which Ernest Ball
is co-author, the number being published by M.
Witmark & Sons.
The studios of Artmusic, Inc., are now being
rearranged and refurnished, and Miss Clark is
endeavoring to put a personal touch in all the
surroundings. A campaign will be inaugurated
early this fall by the company and their ef-
forts to make their numbers popular with the
teachers will be in co-operation with the dealers
of the country. The company is a little over a
year old, but during that time they have gathered
together a catalog of no mean proportions, and
among the numbers they have issued several
have won recognition, among others being the
ballad "Forever Is a Long, Long Time." Their
catalog is divided into four divisions, classic, in-
strumental, art and production.
The popularity of the clever "blues" numbers
published and featured by the Pace & Handy
Music Co. is indicated by the following letter
received by that company recently from S.
Totino, bandmaster, U. S. N., stationed at the
Navy Yard, Washington, D. C. Mr. Totino says:
"Just a few words to let you know that your
'Florida Blues,' 'Beale Street Blues' and a num-
ber of your other numbers which we have are
making a very big hit for us. The Washing-
ton newspapers give our band and orchestra
the reputation of being the best 'jazz' organiza-
tion north of New Orleans. I would appreciate
it very much if you will send me any numbers
that come out in the future. Mr. Freedman
brought me all of your recent hits, which I
expect to go very big. Will close with many
thanks."
Since opening their New York headquarters
in the Gaiety Theatre Building the Pace &
Handy Music Co. have been very successful in
placing their numbers with prominent members
of the vaudeville profession. Incidentally the
company's music appears in practically all the
talking machine records and music rolls.
