for January, she has this to say: "Tune in with
'lie Remick Co., where all your orders are filled
he same day as received." This intelligent list-
ing surely should be a trade bringer for them.
Daisy is so extremely busy she don't believe in
too many words. One reason she gives is be-
fcausc words have a double meaning. Words
tare the tools wherewith folks fashion grief, yet
nend distress. Words are the cure of sorrow,
et the thief of happiness. Words are the wise
nan's throne—and the fool's grave.
Syme Winkle's Song Shop
In his two-by-four teenie weenie music shop
't 1146 Griswold street, Syme Winkle does an
enormous business. With his usual peppy way
of expression, he exclaimed, "My business is
'excellent." He is doing his stuff. It is a real
busy beehive, and well conducted, and do you
know that R. G. Dun rather likes this fellow
•ynie?
Willard Bryant
What an old-timer this bird is! He must
ave landed with the Indians from the reserva-
tions. I bet that's where he learned to play
those weird instruments. But you've got to
give him credit; he has built up a nice
business in the band and orchestra field, in-
struments and music, as well. He carries a mis-
cellaneous stock of everything in the sheet mu-
sic line at his well-appointed place at 1425
Broadway.
Hudson's Music Store
Just a look-in satisfied me that this high-brow
music store has shown in the right direction on
the balance sheet for the year just past. Mr.
Robinson, as usual, is very active, and the many
pleasant, faces associated with him are the re-
sult of the success of this department.
A. D. Orcutt
Mr. Orcutt classifies himself as a wholesale
dealer in sheet music, books and musical publi-
cations, at 1512 Broadway. . Just getting his
place in good shape—it looks more like a beauty
parlor—and also finishing his inventory, he has
been extremely busy; in fact, so much so that
he hasn't been able to catch up with his cor-
respondence and other important matters. Or-
cutt looks for a splendid increase in sales on
popular music in particular. He claims there
are more hits on the market to-day from every
catalog than we have had in some time. There
is one thing that Orcutt is rather puzzled about,
and he wants to know who did it. He happened
to see a beautiful setting and a painting of Lady
Sphinx.
Broadway Music Corp.
Sid Grant, known as the Hebrew Scotchman
because of the many Scotch ditties he contin-
ually warbles, is getting marvelous results with
Will Von Tilzer's greatest of all songs by his
brother, Harry, entitled "Just Around the Cor-
ner." Ted Lewis .is featuring the song at the
Addison Hotel. A beautiful window is in evi-
dence at the Grinnell Music House, making a
perfect trim. Sid surely will put this song over
in this section.
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co.
This house is represented locally by Will Col-
lins, who is doing an immense amount of broad-
casting on this catalog, and sales locally are re-
ported very satisfactory.
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.
Ned Nichelson, the local representative,
claims that their "Prisoner's Song" is No. 1 in
the entire State of Michigan. "Down by the
Winegar Woiks" is coming along finely, as well
as many other topliners in the catalog.
Joe Morris Co.
Billy Vitchell is putting all his energies on
"Roll 'Em, Girls," and the song has been well
accepted by the musicians and the profession
and has demonstrated good results in the music
stores.
Leo Feist, Inc.
The Feist offices here have always been very
much on the map. The representative for the
house, Bob Miller, is well acquainted in these
parts. It is hardly possible for him to miss an
opportunity for any kind of a publicity stunt
to put a Feist song over. "Sleepy Time Gal" is
a sensation. "Sitting on Top of the World,"
"Five Foot Two," as well as six other bonafide
sellers, are well represented on the popular mu-
sic counters of this city.
Milton Weil Music Publishing Co.
"Knee Deep In Daisies" is still holding out
well, and the new apron song, "Tie Me to Your
Aprong Strings Again," is developing very rap-
idly. From all indications, the Weil publica-
tions are going to make money for the dealer
everywhere.
Jake Ellis on the Scene Again
While walking through the lobby of the Stat-
ler Hotel upon my arrival, I met dear old Jake
and we had breakfast together, we had lunch
together, and we had dinner together. I couldn't
resist the opportunity, after having been in the
same organization with this famous traveler for
nearly twenty years. I was thankful that the
various buyers in town gave me any time at
all. They were all saving the time and orders
for Ellis. You know the Sam Fox catalog is
so large, with such a varied type of good selling
material, that it is hardly expected that the
music buyers would have any time to give any-
one else while Jake was on the scene. How
Jake did plead with me to stay over the week-
end! But, being a strong believer in working
on a positive schedule, the Michigan Central
Night Owl carried me on to that famous city by
the lake called "The Windy Town"—Chicago.
$1,000 Prize Is Offered
for New Symphonic Work
C. C. Birchard Offers Prize to American Com-
poser Through National Federation of Music
Clubs
Through the National Federation of Music
Clubs, a prize offer of $1,000 was announced
yesterday for a new symphonic work for cham-
ber orchestra, for which manuscripts are to be
submitted by October 1 next by composers of
American citizenship. The successful score will
be produced by the New York Chamber Music
Society, founded by Carolyn Beebe. It will also
be printed and published by the prize donor,
C. C. Birchard, head of the music house bear-
ing his name in this city and Boston.
Miss Beebe said that manuscripts designed
for this prize must be written for performance
not exceeding fifteen minutes in length. The
number of players is to be that of the local
society, eleven in all, comprising the piano, five
strings and five wind instruments. The prize
will be awarded in the year's tenth competition
of the Federation's department of American
composers, the chairman of which is Mrs. Ger-
trude Ross, the song writer, of Los Angeles.
Opens Sheet Music Section
EAST LIVERPOOL, O., February 6.—A large and
spacious sheet music section has been opened
in the basement of the McCrory store here in
charge of Miss Ina Mae ^McConnell. The de-
partment is one of the most complete in the city
and sheet music sales are reported brisk.

"Dorothy" to Be Popular
Victorious Eagle
Leo Feist, Inc., has one of the outstanding
song numbers in the new edition of Earl Car-
roll's "Vanities." It is called "Dorothy." The
manner in which this particular number is fea-
tured in the elaborate "Vanities" production will
undoubtedly give it great popularity on Broad-
way and later elsewhere in the country.
