veloped into probably as big
a hit as any Southern ditty
of recent years. Its extremely
catchy melody and infectious
rhythm are -mainly responsible
for this, and the song, pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons,
is equally popular with the
dancers and orchestra leaders
all over the country. Prob-
ably nowhere did "Carolina
Home" go over bigger than it
did last week at the Maryland
Theatre in Baltimore, where
it was splendidly and most ef-
fectively featured by Maureen
Englin and the Southland
Entertainers. Commemorating
this engagement in great style
was the splendid window dis-
play all week by the S. S.
Kresge Co., in Baltimore. A
reproduction, showing "Carry
Me Back to My Carolina
Home" exclusively featured, is
given herewith.
Dealers who are progressive
enough to link up their sheet
music departments with the
appearance of artists in their
cities singing the numbers
which they are featuring, as
was done in this case, find
such action a remarkably ac-
tive stimulant to sales, for

ber, and who then forcibly
have their recollection recalled

to the 'World Famous McKinley Music' " says
D. W. Foster, "and the new catalogs that the
company is distributing among their dealers in
large quantities are bringing excellent results.
These numbers are considered an unusually
good lot and offer special window displays
through their original title pages. The saxo-
phone and piano pieces, which are an innova-
tion in fifteen-cent music, are more than meet-
ing expectations.
"Our popular catalog is also coining in for its
share and is progressing rapidly. 'The Trail to
Long Ago,' a great harmony ballad, which was
released in word roll by the U. S. Music Co.
this month, is selling very big and indications
are that it will be one of the best sellers during
1923. 'There's Only One Pal After All,' last
year's hit, continues to sell in big quantities,
while our ballad, 'When You Long for a Pal
Who Would Care,' was released in December
on Victor records and has developed into a
steady seller. The newer ballads, 'I Am Lone-
some for You, Dear Old Pal' and 'Sahara
Moon,' are coming rapidly to the front, as well
as 'Old Plantation Blues' and 'Hawaii' (I Am
Dreaming of You)."

Indications Point to a Prosperous Year for Mc-
Kinley Music Co.—New Numbers and Many
New Improvements Create Increased De-
mand for Line
CHICAGO, III., February 19.—The beginning of
1923 has shown excellent results for the Mc-
Kinley line and business seems to be well
started for a prosperous year, according to offi-
cials of the company. The announcement of
the many new numbers and improvements
which have been added to the McKinley fifteen-
cent music is popularizing this line all over
the country. Some time ago the McKinley
Music Co. announced that the entire line had
been reduced to the standard three-quarter size
carrying artistic two-color covers. Since this
announcement the company has enjoyed a large
increase in business and has received many
complimentary letters from dealers stating their
appreciation of the many improvements and re-
lating the excellent window displays that are
possible and increased sales the improvements
have brought them.
