Together the songs seem to enjoy the happy fate of
"Dreamer of Dreams" and "Follow the Swallow," a
pair that began their big popularity simultaneously.
In addition to the songs named there are other

ADVERTISING SONG BOOKS
Editor Presto: One of our customers inquires
about a collection of old-fashioned songs, suitable for
giving out to prospects and the general public. If
you can inform us where these are printed, you will
• confer a great favor, and incidentally boost the piano
business, as it is a foregone conclusion that every-
one receiving a book will need a piano on which to
produce the accompaniments.—A Jobber.
Reply: About the best book of the kind within
our knowledge is put forth in quantities by the Illi-
nois State Register of Springfield, 111. We believe
if you write to that concern you will get a sample of
about what you want.—Presto.
Over 50 songs, words and music for 4 voices and piano,
32 p.p., 6x9, in editions with special illuminated cover
printed to order as wanted. Mention Presto.
