THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
INDICATIONS OF AN EXCELLENT SEASON IN PITTSBURGH.
Opening of School Season Brings Big Demand and Popular Prints Are Also Selling Well as the
Fall Progresses—Some Successful Numbers Published by the David Publishing Co.
(Special to The Review.)
PITTSBURGH, PA., October 5.—Business among
the sheet music dealers and publishers in Pitts-
burgh is decidedly brisk and everything points to a
big autumn trade. There has been a marked im-
provement during the past few weeks, although the
entire month of September was unusually active
owing to better conditions in the general business
and industries of this section. The school season
has opened with a very good demand for teachers'
music.
The sheet music section of Volkwein Bros., 516
Smithfield street, reports that the Marie Louka
compositions, purchased recently from Weymann &
Sons, Philadelphia, are selling big. They consist
of fourteen semi-classical compositions for the
piano, and were originally published by Weymann
& Sons, who have sold the entire rights to Volk-
wein Bros. Among publications recently issued
by Volkwein Bros. "The Emblem of Peace," a
march by George A. Reeg, Jr., is particularly suc-
cessful, having been featured at municipal and
other public concerts all summer here and else-
where.
The David Publishing Co., Schmidt building, is
securing excellent results at this time, both with
its recent publications and older numbers. Among
the company's latest hits that are selling big are
the following songs: "Amanda Lou," "The Fate
of a Broken Heart," "Ragtime Land," "Cotton
Time in Dixie," "Have You Had It?" and "Down
\mong the Fields of Cotton," all by Sarah C.
David, and a class'c instrumental composition, "The
Gondolier," by Edward Melvin. This company is
securing an international copyright on "Where the
Brown-Eyed Daisies Grow." Another of the com-
pany's songs that has been going well here and in
other parts of the country is "Thou Art the Soul
of a Lovely Rose." All of the company's publi-
cations are being demonstrated in an effective man-
ner at the large and striking David Publishing Co.
booth at the Western Pennsylvania Exposition.
A. H. Witt, of the W. H. Witt Music Co.,
Jenkins Arcade, states that business has been on
tie upward trend for some time and a splendid
fall is anticipated. This concern handles classical
music exclusively, and all classes of teachers' music
are selling on a greatly increased scale at present.
Mr. Witt has just installed a Shelp hinging ma-
chine, which is being used with success.
Mrs. F. H. Heckmann, manager of the Kaufmann
Bros, sheet music department, reports an increase
of 50 per cent, in business during the past month
over the corresponding period last year. This is
one of the departments of Jerome H. Remick &
Co., and all of the Remick hits are being featured
with unsual success. Among those leading the list
at present are "The Sweetest Girl in Monterey,"
"The Wedding of the Sunshine and the Rose" and
"Circus Day in Dixie." Mrs. Heckmann is de-
cidedly optimistic over the fall outlook.
