In the larger cities, like New York and Chi-

which an unrestricted, if not indiscreet, giving
of "professional copies" inflicts upon the legiti-
mate buying and selling trade. Whoever heard
of the publishers of educational and standard
music providing "professional copies" for distri-
bution gratis among their clientele? And graft-
ers in their branch of the business are not
entirely unknown.
