THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
THE RISING TIDE OF PROSPERITY
The tides of Business ebb and flow as do the tides of the Ocean, not with the same
frequency and regularity, to be sure, but in other respects the analogy is perfect.
Any schoolboy who lives near the coast will tell you that a very high tide is followed by
a very low one, and at such times the tides are swift and strong.
The business world is just recovering from an Ebb Tide which set in last October. The
Tide has been way out; it went out swiftly, as we know—and now it is surely and swiftly coming
back; for one extreme follows the other as surely as daylight follows darkness.
During this period of depression, our house, with a serenity born of experience, has worked
unceasingly to provide for the Teaching Season Important and Attractive Musical Works of
Interest to Music Teachers and Music Lovers, and also to the Music Dealers.
These works are now offered at Introduction Prices. Music Teachers and Music Lovers
will appreciate this extensive offering of new publications, which include:
