THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
SAM FOX REPORTS BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Music Publisher on Return From Trans-
Continental Trip Enthusiastic Regarding the
Outlook Throughout Sheet Music Trade
CLEVELAND, O., December 7.—Sam Fox, head of
the Sam Fox Publishing Co., who recently re-
turned from his regular Western trip, declared
it was the most successful he had ever made.
"I encountered wonderful optimism among the
sheet music trade," he said. "Business seemed
good with everybody and it was certainly 'a
grand and glorious feeling 1 to see how some
of the dealers came across with their orders.
"Mr. Weiss encountered the same good busi-
ness and he is now working in the East. I
should have finished my territory in the East,
but had to come home to help my people 'get
out from under' the avalanche of stock orders
and many other important matters that piled
up during my absence from my desk.
"I am mighty glad the war's over and no
doubt paper and printing conditions will be-
come better and relieve me of a lot of my
worries. You know Sam Fox prints are the
most artistic published and require the finest
quality of paper, inks and workmanship.
Through far-sightedness we were fortunate
enough to obtain a supply sufficient to see us
JOHN McCORMACK FEATURING NEW BOOSEY & CO. NUMBER
A new song, one which John McCormack is
singing in his concerts, called "I Shall Meet
You," is being published by Boosey & Co. The
number is from the pens of E. M. Chesham and

be seen that it is a number which is, to say the
least, not ordinary. The house of Boosey feel
"I Shall Meet You" is a distinct addition to
their catalog, and have made arrangements to
DECEMBER 14, 1918
through the present season and from the way
business opened up and after taking care of
the large stock orders, I was beginning to feel
that our supply of high grade editions would
soon be exhausted and we would be forced to
print war editions.
"The situation seems relieved already and
the day that the armistice was signed we be-
gan to make our plans for 1919.
"We have gone through the war without any
deviations from the usual Sam Fox policy of
giving the dealer the best for the money. Our
rates have not advanced and we feel that this
was appreciated by the trade, which is in evi-
dence by the greater volume of business we
have done.
"In conclusion, will say that the Sam Fox
catalog at the present time is bigger and bet-
ter than ever and just watch our strides in
1919.
We are going 'to do things' that will
result in a big increase in business for the
House of Fox."
