THE PRESTO'S WANT ADVS.
"DOWN SOUTH" ORGANIZERS.
The Down South Music Publishing Corporation
has opened offices in the Roseland building, 1658
Broadway, New York City, and will henceforth be
devoted exclusively to the popularization of charac-
teristic "blues" novelties by foremost race artists,
composers, and stage and record stars.
Fletcher
Henderson will be general manager of the new enter-
prise. Andrew Sissle will be business manager. Both
have demonstrated their fitness for this type of work.
A distinctive feature of the service that the Down
South Music Publishing Corporation is prepared to
render the mechanical companies includes the fur-
nishing of prominent singers and accompanists, when
necessary.
