SHEET MUSIC MEN IN PORTLAND
Travelers Manage to Corral a Very Sizable Vol-
ume of Orders in That City
SURPRISED!
A well-known New York music
dealer dropped in the other day and
expressed surprise at Century's sales
keeping up so fine when other lines
he carried were lying idle. He said,
"It must be your national advertis-
ing that's doing it."
He guessed right. Century has
spent more than twice as much to
nationally advertise the edition dur-
ing 1930 and 1931 than ever before.
We have proven conclu-
sively that there is busi-
ness to be had if you
will only go out and
get it. And that's what
we are doing, and the
dealers who are back-
ing us up are getting
theirs, too. Are you
one of them?
Fourteen of America's biggest
magazines are right now urging
millions of readers to buy CEN-
TURY EDITION from Century
dealers. It's up to you to let the
people know your store carries It.

PORTLAND, ORE., August 20.—Portland music
dealers were visited last week by Carl Yager, of
the John Church Co., and by "Nick" Lange, who
represents the B. F. Wood Music Co., Boston.
Harvey W. Orr, of Sherman, Clay & Co., also
visited the Portland sheet music dealers in the
interest of his firm and the local dealers placed
large orders with him. Mr. Orr was specially
featuring a very clever fox-trot, "Have You For-
gotten?" and the new waltz, "To-morrow Land."
Many of the recent hits of Sherman, Clay & Co.
have been of exceptionally high merit and the
two new ones give promise of keeping up the
standard set. Mr. Orr is visiting all the cities
and towns of the Northwest and will go as far
North as Vancouver, B. C , before returning to
San Francisco, and will then leave for the East,
with New York as his objective.
Kathleen Benoit Campbell, manager of the
sheet music department of the Portland Piano
Co. (Lipman, Wolfe's), has returned from her
vacation and resumed her duties at the store.
Mrs. Campbell says that she anticipates a very
busy Fall in her department. Miss Mildred
Perry, who had charge of the sheet music de-
partment during her absence, has been trans-
ferred to the roll and record department.

The oldest written music to English words
is "Sumer Is I Cumen In," now in the British
Museum, London. It is in a book which once
belonged to Reading Abbey, containing a cal-
endar of the abbey. "Sumer Is I Cumen In"
is thought to have been written about 1240 at
the latest. Writing of the tune in Music and
Youth, Nancy Gilford says:
"Before me is a facsimile of the old MS. The
feeling of it, music and words, seems to me to
be as fresh and Springlike now as it must have
been about 500 years ago, when some unknown
man wrote in the monastery book a tune which
was probably known to all the little country
children in that part of England."
Richard Powers, traveling representative, *>f
Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, Cal.,i ar-
rived in town late last week after spending
some time on the Pacific Coast. He will be
actively engaged in the Fall publicity campaign
which Sherman, Clay & Co. will conduct in the
Eastern territory.
