The ever popular Remick number, "My Buddy,"
was featured in all the moving picture houses of Port-
land, Ore., on Armistice Day and in the huge mili-
tary parade of the day the bands all used "My Buddy"
in marching time, and the regulars, the veterans of
the "World War," "Spanish American" and the
G. A. R. stepped out with heads erect wherever the
bands struck up op "My Buddy."
Carbone Bros., Broadway, South Boston, Mass.,

CAMPAIGN BY OLMAN, INC.
Definite Exploitation Plans of New York Publishers
Will Include Personal Visits by Managers.
Abe Olman, head of the recently organized pub-
lishing enterprise of Olman, Inc., at 148 W. 46th
street, announces the inception of a definite cam-
paign of concentration on his two leading numbers,
"1 Thank You" and "I Wanna Go Home," two prom-
ising pieces of musical property by Jack Yellen,
famed writer of "Lovin' Sam," "Louisville Lou,"
"Who Cares," etc., and Mr. Olman, who has ac-
counted for such past hits as "Down By the O-HI-O,"
"Oh, Johnny, Oh!" "Karavan," etc. National and
trade publications will be used extensively to propa-
gate the merits of the Olman catalogue, which critics
pronounce as versatile as it is sure-fire, and orches-
tras and foremost headliners will assist in establishing
"I Thank You" and "I Wanna Go Home," respec-
tively waltz and fox-trot ballads, as potential hits.
Mr. Olman will personally visit many of his old
friends in the trade, which he has intensively culti-
vated through a period of more than ten years, in the
interests of his catalogue. Friends in the profession
regard as unusual a stroke of business acumen which
enabled Mr. Olman to place his waltz hit, "Remem-
ber the Waltz," with one of the large publishers for
more effective exploitation than he was able to give
this popular semi-classic composition.
