Many Hits, Has Alluring Proposition for Trade.
The J. S. Unger Music House, publishers, Reading,
Pa., has a proposition for sheet music dealers that

are being- exploited nationally by hundreds of the
leading stage stars. Some of the notable winners are
"Carolina," "Memories Dream," "Supposing," "Yes,
Dreams Come True," "The Man Who Catches Me
Must Have the Good Hard Cash," "Your Arms Are
Home, Sweet Home, to Me." Write for special
proposition for dealers.

ropolitan district. More than three-fifths

all other musical instruments, from pianos to ukuleles,
with sheet music thrown in.

man bands will be obliged to pay amusement taxes
