Nelson and Harry Pease entitled ".'\I1Y Littl e
Baby That's a Lovin' Little Baby."
BOSTON, MAS S., Jun e 7.-The prestige enjoy~(r
by the Oliver Ditson Co. in the music publish
ing world is not ill a'ny se llse a matter of acci
dent, bilt rath er the result of genuine achieve
ment-successful achiev ement-in a chosen field.
The Ditson hous e has 'Non its way to s uccess
by building on a basis of fairness, both to th e
dealer and to th e ultimate purchaser.
To the deal er particularly th e Ditso n sys tem
has appealed , beca use not only does all advertis
ing issued by th e ho use dir ec t the reader to the
'store of the dealer, but th e company has so ar
r~ nged its novelty offer of sheet music and books
tllat the retailer can order freely of the items
that have the strongest appea l without fear of
having dead stock on his hands. Moreover, he
i5 protected through th e fact that the Ditson
novelty bulletins, whi ch are furnished free to
the dealer to be di s tribut ed with his imprint,
are in no case sent out t o th e general public.
For the further protection of the retailer the
Ditson Co. has recently provided a trade trans
fer order blank which, when oppor tunity pre
sents itself, carries th e following infor mation 'to
the dealer: "\I\'e hav e r eceived an or,d er from
customer whose name is given below and who
is not on our ' ledge rs. VYe have, th e refor e, sent
and charged tb c sa m e to you and ask yo u to
handle it with the und e rstanding that if you do
not care to do so it may be returned for credit,
which will include costs of transportation."
,\s to the various Ditson publications, the
Musicians' Library of eighty volumes, contain
ing the masterpieces of sOllg and piano music,
is indeed a wonderful achievement, and so on
through the list; the Mu s ic Students' Library,
Favorite Songs of Favorite Si nge r s, Tapper's
Graded Course, Marzo's .\r t of Vocali za tion , the
Ditson Edition-all the best in their line-and
JUNE
now th e best complete system of pian o instruc
ti on, the Schoo l Credit Piano Course, endorsea
by leading conductors, school supervi sors and
conven ts, bring home to us with added fo r ce the
virility and preparedness of Oliver Ditson Co.
