BETTER FREIGHT RATES ON MUSIC.
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers En-
deavoring to Secure an Adjustment
of
Freight Rates That Will Mean a Saving of
Thousands of Dollars Annually.
MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
with the Southern Pacific and Santa Re railroad
companies and their local representatives have
given their personal assurance that at the next
meeting of the Trans-Continental Freight Bureau
our petition would receive their favorable recom-
mendation.
As the various roads throughout the country are
concerned in this matter it would probably be ad-
visable for your house to take up the question with
the railroads that are the principal beneficiaries of
your freight.
The arguments of the association arc:
(1) That sheet music should receive the same
rate as books, because the weight in proportion to
bulk is practically the same, the advantage, if any,
being in favor of sheet music being slightly the
heavier per given bulk.
(2) That it is shipped in boxes that are con-
veniently handled and that there is no loss to the
railroads through breakage or injury to goods in
transit.
(3) That the value of sheet music is no more
in proportion to weight than books.
(4) That the present discrimination is such as
leads to a considerable portion of sheet music being
shipped by express, as the saving on long hauls is
but slight.
(5) That there is really no reason why a piece
of sheet music should receive one rate and when
bound with a paper cover be shipped at about half
the rate charged when the cover is omitted.
A letter to your railroads embodying these and
similar points that occur to you will no doubt help
in securing this very important change.

ZIT, of New York Journal, says:—•
"J'm On My Way to Dublin Bay" will sweep the

S1ME, of Variety, says:—
Everybody can sing "I'm On My Way to Dublin
Bay," and that's why it's a great song.
All the best JUDGES of Songs claim this song
the most genuine hit of its kind.
A SIMPLE, SWEET, POPULAR MELODY
that everybody can play, sing or whistle.
