Let's Make Up
The above move by the John Church Co. fol-
lows out the general idea of consolidation this
organization has planned as regards its catalogs.
With the expiration of the lease of its London
branch on September 29, Mr. Coghill closed
arrangements with Boosey & Co., whereby that
important British, and internationally known,
publishing concern will carry on the sale of
John Church publications in Great Britain and
the colonies, with the exception of Australia
and the Dominion of Canada, which will be
continued from the Cincinnati offices.
Boosey & Co. look upon the acquisition of
the John Church publications for Great Britain
as a very important move and one which will
add substantially to the activities of that com-
pany.

This, however, will only be for its executive
publication activities. It will still be under tIn-
direction of W. L. Coghill, one of the board
of directors of the John Church Co., who has
headed this department for many years.
The move to Cincinnati takes in the stock,
sales and shipping departments, and is for the
purpose of consolidating these activities so that
they can all be carried through from one cen-
tral point. This will mean that the sales and
shipping activities of the company as regards
its music publications can be performed more
efficiently with a distinct saving in overhead, h
will allow a close check and constant inventory
to be made on all printings and avoid duplica-
tions.
This move has been considered by the board
of directors of the John Church Co. for the
past few years and has been presented in a
constructive form by Mr. Coghill at these meet-
ings. The continuance of the publication execu-
tive offices in New York will give Mr. Coghill
time to devote his energies to the more exten-
sive and important plans of the company for
the exploitation of its publications.
While keeping in close touch with the music
publication activities in Cincinnati, Mr. Coghill
will at the same time be able to carry out
