The title was displayed by means of a large

attractive patterns, the copies being interspersed

appropriately with white carnations. The Mc-
Crory store, being centrally located, accom-
plished a real plug for the song through the
window and stimulated much favorable com-
ment from the public. This store has been
obtaining its best, results through the featuring
of a single song in an entire window, empha-
sizing one title at a time rather than attempting
a harmonious whole with several numbers.

"One of those peculiarly fortunate combina-
tions, which happen but once in a blue moon,
if then, resulted when three young men, all
previously identified with the side streets collec-
tively known as Tinpan Alley, joined hands for
the presumably laudable purpose of providing
Broadway with new shows and melodies.
"This association took place just a year ago.
To-day their business enterprise occupies most
of a large building in Forty-ninth street. Such

"Each of the combination is a seasoned song
writer in his own right, yet none of the trio is
over thirty-five years old. At present their earn-
ings are greater than those of any other song-
writing team, the aggregate yearly income of
the three amounting to half a million dollars.
Ray Henderson had the distinction of reaching
the age of thirty years a few months ago. B. G.
De Sylva is all of thirty-two and Lew Brown,
the grandfather of the trio, is thirty-five.
Surely a remarkable record in a short space
of time.
