Best sellers at the Poling store in recent weeks
have been "Limehouse Blues," " J u n e Night,"
"Sweet Little You," "Marcheta," "Maytime"
and "Doodle Doo Doo." Orchestra music as
well as teachers' music has been in good de-
mand throughout the Summer. An even better
volume of business in sheet music is expected
from now on, according to Mr. Poling. The
Poling store put in this department a year ago.
