[I
Had its origin in England
Composed and written by
Frank Wood & Henry Pether
It was originally published by Francis, Day
& Hunter, of London, England.
T. B. Harms caused this song to be interpolated
in "The Girl from Utah" and it proved to be a
HIT.
That's why we bought it. That's why we
will have thousands singing it instead of one.
"MOLLY DEAR
It's Ion I'm After"
NEW YORK
Is a 60c. number.
Is 30c. retail.
( Is 18c. to the trade.

We think it does. Why? — — —

have purchased compositions from different pub-
lishers and have always "put them over." .

Every one a 1,000,000 or over HIT.
This justifies our judgment and shows
organized ability to put them over.
"Hiawatha" sold over 1,250,000 Copies at a retail
price of 30c a copy, which means that through
our efforts and your outlet $375,000 was taken in
by the Retail Music Trade on that one com-
position; and that is why we bid for your co-
operation.
12c—One Order—Twelve Cents—Any Quantity—12c
But You Must Use Coupon on Opposite Page.
What would you rather have the publishers do?
Popularize a number that costs you 7c. and you
sell at ioc, or one that costs you 18c. and you
sell for 30c? Your answer, please!
