BUSY TIMES AT THE BOND SHOP
Business Founded by Carrie Jacobs-Bond in
Chicago Continues to Progress Satisfactorily
CHICAGO, III., December 3.—The tale of Carrie
Jacobs-Bond and her publishing plant is one
that has been oft repeated—the first shop—and
the second—the growth and development of
the "House of Good Music" up until a few
years ago is a familiar story to the music trade
and music buyers.
- For a certainty, the reputation gained by the
composer of "A Perfect Day," "Just Awearyin'
(or You" and "I Love You Truly," has been a
widespread one, and recently she has again at-
tracted the attention of the musical world by
the publication of three new compositions, which
already "occupy a place of prominence in the
music market. "The Soul of You," an inde-
scribably beautiful love song, is being sung by
Mine. Mariska Aldrich, of the Metropolitan
Grand Opera Co., and other distinguished artists.
Another is a sweet appealing "color" song, "A
Little Bit o' Honey," which the celebrated tenor,
Fvan Williams, is singing with great success.
Mr. Williams has just finished making a record
of this number for the Victor Talking Machine
Co. And there is also "A Cottage in God's
Garden," which sings of thanks and contentment,
the love of life and things beautiful—a home
song for all of us indeed.
In previous issues of this and other trade
papers have been published photographs of the
Bond Shop and Mrs. Bond's Grossmont home,
but it is at her Hollywood residence, a model
Swiss Chalet, close to the wild flowers and birds,
and the beauties of nature she so loves, that Mrs.
Bond spends her winters.
Turn back to the shop. The hustle in the
shipping room continues even during Mrs.
Bond's absence. A new addition was made in
the way of floor space during 1917. There are
now a series of offices, private and otherwise—
an art department has been added, and the stock-
rooms greatly enlarged. The packing cases are
piled high (and neatly) and the music stacked
in such huge quantities that one instinctively
fears for the safety of the floors. There is also
in evidence a vast amount of display advertis-
ing material, which shows them to be firm be-
lievers in the effectiveness of this modern
method of publicity.

The employes of the music department of
Eilers Music House, Portland, Ore., have hit
upon a practical plan of arousing musical in-
terest by organizing a chorus, which is being
drilled by L. W. Mack, manager of the depart-
ment.
"The Golden Goose," a musical show, which
is described as a trip to Fairyland, opened re-
cently in Atlantic City, where from reports re-
ceived in New York via the papers of that re-
sort it had a most successful premiere. The
music of the show, which is published by the
Carl Millegram Co., Inc., was praised without
exception in the reviews of the local papers.
There is very little doubt but that the show
will become quite a hit as the management is
already looking for a New York theatre and
is preparing to make a long stay on Broadway.
Carl Miller, president of the Carl Millegram
Co., Inc., arranged the score of the play and
as he has a long list of successes to his credit,
it may be an omen as to the future of this new
show.
