The Witmark Convention Adjourns
Amid Great Enthusiasm.
PROCLAMATION!!!
W
E are exceedingly well pleased with the success of our campaign.
Its sole purpose was to inspire the delegates at large with con-
fidence in the coming season which, we believe, will be the most successful
in our career as music publishers. Disgruntled outsiders are found at
most any convention and this was no exception, still, we can hardly believe
that anyone should misconstrue our policy or be malicious enough to cir-
culate the report that THE HOUSE OF WITMARK had permanently reduced
their rate on all publications, especially the operatic. To this we emphat-
ically answer—NOTHING O F T H E K I N D —our policy has not
changed in the least, and we still maintain the standard always followed by
us. Every fair-minded dealer will readily understand our object and see that
our intention was to benefit the trade at large and not for the purpose of
promoting a "cut-rate" business.
When we opened up this campaign we thoroughly defined our policy.
Those who followed the proceedings carefully, know of course that there
is a limit to the inducements offered and we shall strictly adhere to the
conditions made ; if you have not sent in your order, do so at once, or it
will be too late.
THESE ARE THE LIMITATIONS AND ONLY CONDITIONS:
.
I st. Your order must be sent on page taken from this paper.
2nd. We will accept but one order from each dealer at con-
vention rate.
3rd. Our rates have undergone no change. Once the time limit
is reached and your order has not been received by us,
you lose the inducement offered, as we will positively
refuse to fill all orders at convention,rates.
We feel satisfied that this proclamation will retain the confidence
that has always been placed in us by the trade at large.
With all good wishes for the success of the party and thanking
you for your hearty and substantial support, we are,
Yours very respectfully,
