REVIEW
Shortly after joining the organization he made
a trip through the South and startled the Stasny
shipping department with the large orders he
was able to book. Since that time the results
he has obtained have added to the honors he
early won with the Stasny concern.
Much of the success of Mr. Ruger is no doubt
due to the concentration he gives the work he
has in hand and, not having reached his ma-
jority, he is filled with the enthusiasm of youth.
Mr. Ruger has a magnetic personality, and his
pleasing ways and manners have won for him
many friends among the music dealers and sales-
men with whom he has come in contact.
Herewith is reproduced a photograph of Mr.
Ruger, who is at the present time leading the
Stasny organization in the number of copies sold
of their song hit, "Just You," which has nearly
reached the three hundred thousand copy mark.
PATRIOTIC SONGS THAT ARE SELLING
Your Country and My Country," by Irving Ber-
lin; and the second, "Joan of Arc, They Are
Calling You," with words by Alfred Bryan and
Willie Weston, and music by Jack Wells. The
first number is featured in the high-class catalog
of the company, and the second in the popular
catalog.
"For Your Country and My Country" has
gained special prominence through its use on
various occasions as a recruiting song by those
seeking to enlist men in the army and navy.
The lyrics are excellent, and the melody is of
the sort that has a popular appeal, and will in-
sure the salability of the song, even after the war.
"Joan of Arc, They Are Calling You" is of
the more popular type as being widely used by
vaudeville singers, and others of that class.
The professional department of Waterson, Ber-
lin & Snyder have "gone after" the song with
energy, and that a real demand has been cre-
ated, is indicated by the volume of sales al-
ready registered.
