TO VISIT NEW YORK CONVENTIONS
A. C. Bruhnke, Representing Carrie Jacobs-
Bond & Son, to Mingle With Dealers at the
Coming Meetings—Well Known in Trade

Chicago has been added to the rapidly-crowing

1 to 8. It is that of A. C. Bruhnke, traveling
representative for Carrie Jacobs-Bond & Son.
Mr. Bruhnke is one of the best-known of the
younger set of Chicago's traveling representa-
tives and hopes to meet a host of his old friends
who will attend the show as well as to make
the acquaintance of many new ones whom he
has heard a great deal of but never has had the
pleasure of meeting. It is his intention to not
only take in the National Music Show, but to
also stay over so as to participate in the Na-
tional Retail Music Dealers' convention, which
will take place on the following week. Upon
his return to Chicago he will leave for a pro-
tracted trip throughout the Southern and Cen-
tral Western territories and anticipates doing big
things with the new Bond songs. He but re-
cently returned from a trip throughout the
Eastern territory and stated that it was one of
the most successful trips he had ever under-
taken, and that the well-known Bond editions
such" as "A Little Bit of Honey," "Don't You
Remember" and "His Buttons Are Marked U.
S." met with popular favor throughout that sec-
tion. The demand for these numbers has been
very steady and is rapidly increasing.
