THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
4,000,000!
Copies of
"Century Edition"
were sold in 1916!
Best music procurable—plus
national advertising — plus
dealers' co-operation—
were three great factors that
made "Century's" year a record
breaker!
It's a mighty interesting prop-
osition.

THAT the music publishers who are members
of the Music Publishers' Protective Association
are having many a laugh these days at the pro-
fessional singers who write in and can't under-
stand that the publishers really mean to discon-
tinue paying singers for the rendering of songs.
THAT Arthur Green, who is co-author with
Billy Jerome in the novelty song sensation, "If
I Catch the Guy Who Wrote Poor Butterfly,"
is some little publicity agent.
THAT his latest efforts along the above lines
is to have the words of the chorus of his new
song on the backs of his cards.
THAT Jerome Keit, sales manager of J. H.
Remick & Co., has had such a busy spring sea-
son it has caused him to lose weight.
THAT their long practice in knocking out song
hits to performers should prove of great as-
sistance to song writers in knocking out hits to
the same performers on the baseball field.
