over 500 volumes, cornpositions by such men
as Friml, Palmgren and their teaching material.
A very valuable orchestra catalog of almost
one hundred publications is the outstanding
hit of the Boston Music Co.'s Library Edition.
It publishes some splendid octavo material,
the "Chinese Suite," by Friml, and many val-
uable piano compositions; the "National Graded
Course," from one to eight; "Bilbro's First
Melody Lesson" and "Twenty Melodies for
Adult Beginners."
This well-known firm has been at 26 West
street for thirty-five years. It plans to move
soon to a street floor location at 116 Boylston
street, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the
city.

of the Poling Music Co.

used to put it across," Mr. Poling said.
While sheet music has been a new line with
the Poling store, sales were very satisfactory

H. Andrews, alias "Pop" Andrews, is general
manager for the Boston Music Co. The two
road sprinters for the firm are Emil A. Phlock

two boys read that they are "AAA-1" in Brad-
street's and Dun's. And why not? They have
a million dollars' worth of personality. Dear
old "Pop" Andrews, with that perpetual smile
of his and that old Dunhill sticking between his
teeth, is very proud when he mentions the gems

Arthur A. Hauser, manager of the wholesale
department of Carl Fischer, Inc., and Emil
Stock, of the sales staff of that concern, left
New York on January 1 on one of their regular
visits to the retail trade.
Before departing Mr. Hauser said: "The Carl
Fischer catalog nevet was in a more active con-
dition than at present. This not only applies
to the Superior and Otfeeu Editions but to the
copyrighted works of the company. We are
particularly gratified with the sales now being
made through retail channels of theatre, dance
and other orchestrations. Our policy of en-
couraging the purchase of orchestrations
through the dealer is meeting with wide re-
sponse. Under our plans the dealer is assured
a good profit on the distribution of such ma-
terial atid"**it adds materially to his activities.
We expect during "the coming year that more
and more orchestrations, as the continued
dealer interest grows, will be sold through 1 lie
retailer."
B. Richmond With Richmond
.. Ben Richmond, who was formerly associated
with the Enterprise Music Supply Co., and who
in more recent years has been a member of
the staff of Carl Fischer, Inc., has severed his
connections with the latter cbticern, in order to
join the staff of the Richmond Music Supply
Co., 119 Fifth avenue, New York City, the
well-known distributor and jobber of sheet mu-
sic and of which his brother, Maurice Rich-
mond, is president. Mr. Richmond assumes
his new duties on January 1.
