competitors' catalogs by the Feist boys at their
recent annual dinner shows that despite the fact
that they admit "Hawaiian Butterfly," "Where
Do We Go From Here, Boys," and "Mother,
Dixie and You" are hits, they recognize a good
song when it is published.
THAT it also shows the Feist staff recognize
that the fellow who knows what the other man
has got has a bigger chance of putting some-
thing over.
THAT T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter

THAT while a number of publishers are featur-
ing patriotic songs there are others using this
time to feature novelty songs and with good
success too.
THAT the "Livery Stable Blues" is one of the
most popular numbers of the year.
THAT the above song is not only having a
good sale but has been produced on the better
class records and is popular in that field.

they serve. This fund is used to give addi-
tional compensation and rewards for faithful
or exceptional service and for any new ideas
presented by the men which the house may
adopt. A large portion of last year's profits was
placed in this fund, and like or larger amounts
will be set aside for a similar purpose each year.
Mr. Feist also stated that every man in the
organization was in line for promotion, that no
favorites were being played or would be played,
that the test of a man's ability was his capacity
for work and the results which he could pro-
duce. Mr. Feist added, "We are for you and
we know you are for us. Our business is on a
profit-sharing basis, and we want you to know
that the more the business makes the greater
will be your share of reward."
Following this the many new songs which
have lately been written by the Feist staff were
presented for the benefit of those present. The
dinner broke up only after each man had eaten
all he could and had sung all he wanted to.
All in all it was an exceedingly successful
affair.
On Wednesday morning a meeting was held
at which decisions were rendered on those new
songs which had been presented at the banquet
on Tuesday night, and other ideas for the fur-
therance of the business were discussed and
adopted. During the rest of the week a num-
ber of regular business sessions were held and
there were also a number of informal gather-
ings at both the Feist offices, 235 West Fortieth
street, and at the Feist professional rooms, 135
West Forty-fourth street.
The convention closed the latter part of the
week with everyone who attended feeling that
it had been the most successful of all the con-
ventions held thus far, and that the Feist organ-
ization will do bigger things than ever during
the coming season.
