ill new members. M r. Li ttle wo uld have been
a close co mpetitor for fir st place had he been
eligible. .\Ithough a sa lesm an of no ordinary
ab ility and a traveler with many thou sa nd miles
to his cred it, ML Little's official position is th a t
of mapager of the publishing and sheet music
departments of Sherman, Clay & Co., San Fran
cisco, and it s branch hou ses.
In pa st years, when th ere was no prize for
whi ch to strive, the sheet music tr av eler s have
Ilot stint ed their effo rts in b ehalf of the Asso
ciati on. These salesmen have been sellin g to
the retail sheet music trade the id ea of co-opera-
JCLJO!X3L
tion for the common good of all. That a high er
st and a rd prevails in the sh ee t music business
than did before th e or gan izati o n of the Asso
ciation is obvious to everybody. Sheet music
dealers are awake to the possibilities that li e
within their grasp through co-operation. They
have joined hands with a ll th e other music in
dustries in th e common caus e of the a dvan ce
ment of music. Music publishers are competing
less and less for business by mail that rightfully
belongs to th e man on the ground.
