Ward-Brodt Co.'s Idea of Complete Service
Makes Strong Appeal to Amateur and Pro-
fessional Musicians in Madison, Wis.
MADISON, WIS., January 27.—A large sheet music
demand has been built up by the Ward-Brodt
Co., of this city, which counts among its regu-
lar customers practically all of the professional
musicians in this territory. The publications of
160 different publishers are now carried by the
sheet music department of the concern in order
to meet the demand, according to Mr. Ward.
He states that the firm has greatly enlarged the
sheet music department due to the widespread
general interest in instrumental and vocal
pieces of all types. The store features a good
stock of compositions and arrangements, par-
ticularly suitable for school use, and it also
handles the work of Professor E. B. Gordon
of the music department of the University of
Wisconsin, "Voices of the Orchestra." This
work has been adapted by all the city schools
of Madison, and it has also been extensively
sold through the State by the Ward-Brodt Co.

William Wiemann, traveling representative for
Ed. B. Marks Music Co., New York, has com-
pleted about a third of his customary Winter
trip to the Coast and his letters to the firm in-
dicate that his orders this year are in excess of
anything he has ever accomplished before in a
similar period. He has encountered many
handicaps due to the far-reaching effects of the
"flu" which has laid up many music buyers in
the territory he is covering. A little thing such
as a sick buyer does not seem to disturb Billy
Wiemann, however, as he goes immediately to
the one next in charge, and in almost every
case sells as much material of every description
as he would have otherwise. Mr. Wiemann hae-
been aided materially this trip by the new
catalog of picked foreign music just issued by
the firm. Under the expert guidance of Paul
Klepper, this was only got out after a thorough
survey of what American music-lovers desired
in European compositions had been made. A
special section is devoted to the works of Claude
Debussy, gathered together in one of the most
comprehensive collections ever offered over here.
Among more than 100 other composers repre-
sented by their best works for piano, violin,
voice, chamber music, organ and other arrange-
ments are to be found such names as De Falla,
lrela,nd, Albeniz, Goossens> Palmgren, Ibert,
Poldini, Sibelius, Stravinsky, Staub, Poulenc,
Ravel, Cyril Scott, Poldowski, Franck and
Honneger.
This new foreign catalog has been asked for
frequently in recent months and Mr. Wiemann
finds that every dealer interested in this type of
music regards it as an invaluable guide.
