The Equitable Music Corp was one of a series
of so-called music publishing companies which
in recent years have been termed "song shark
operators" and which have been under fire by
the Music Industries Chamber of Commerce
and the Better Business Bureau. This makes
the fourth of such publishing groups that during
the last twelve months have been stopped from
operating by fraud orders and by prosecution
in the United States District Courts.

"The secret of all business is to buy wisely
and sell at a profit! By buying wisely we do not
mean sparingly, neither do we mean in too large
quantities, but when you see a bargain purchase
all you think you need. This is really the art
of buying."
Charged That Concern Secured Much Money
From Amateur Song Writers Under False
Pretenses
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 13.—The Post Office
Department, under the" direction of Postmaster
General New, 'ssued a fraud order to-day
against the Equitable Music Corp., 1658 Broad-
way, New York City. This fraud order covers
the company, its officers and agents, charging
them with obtaining money from amateur song
writers throughout the country by means of
false and fraudulent pretenses.
At a hearing given to Harold B. Kohler,
owner and proprietor, it was asserted that
nearly $700,000 had been obtained from would-
be composers by the Equitable and other con-
cerns operated by Kohler during the past few
years.

to the publicity and the merit of the offering,
the publisher, Carl Fischer, Inc., has also a folio
by the same contributor. This publication is
known as "Mellie Dunham's Fifty Fiddlin'
Dance Tunes." These compositions are all of
the type that are having a present vogue and
for that reason should find a most ready mar-
ket. Window and counter displays on such a
timely publication should produce profits that
would not otherwise accrue to the retailer.

In addition to the descriptions of the new
novelties offered in the trade notice issued by
the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, there is usually
to be found some excellent editorial matter of
direct interest and value to the dealer who will
give thought to the ideas presented.
The editorial in the March trade notice has
to do with the art of buying, of which the fol-
lowing is said:
"When wild-cat, and fly-by-night concerns
were selling their stocks like hot cakes, Tele-
phone and Ford Motor stocks went begging, yet
people who bought the latter were those who
reaped the harvest of fortune.
"So it is in the music business. It may be a
little more difficult to sell good music than the
so-called popular music, but once a man has
established himself he has found the pot of gold
TWO NEW SONGS!
"Just a Little Loving" is the title of a new
fox-trot, the words and music of which are by
Willard G. Adams, who is also the publisher of
this offering. Mr. Adams is making his publi-
cation headquarters at 185 Main street, White
Plains, N. Y. Orchestrations of the number are
now being placed in the hands of prominent
orchestras and it is also expected it will be ex-
ploited by way of radio. It has a good fox-trot
rhythm, accompanied by a melody that blends
particularly well with the lyric.
The number is rapidly making progress in
sales.

Some of the other songs that are going big for

all been recorded for Pathe and Perfect records
