If your sales are not increasing, it must be

golden opportunity.
The time never was so ripe to accomplish
BIO THINGS with "CENTURY EDITION"
as right now.
It's about the only commodity on the market
that hasn't boosted its price or reduced its
value!
As a leader for bigger trade, there is none
of more intrinsic worth.

MORE PRAISE FOR "WAR EDITION"
Interesting Letter Received by Leo Feist, Inc.,
From Fulton, Driggs & Smith Co.
The following letter congratulating them upon
their new "War Edition" was received recently
by Leo Feist, Inc., from A. P. McCoy, presi-
dent of the Fulton, Driggs & Smith Co., Water-
bury, Conn., and one of the leading figures in
the Connecticut music trade:
"We wish to congratulate you on your 'War
Edition' of sheet music. We believe that this
is the most sensible thing that we have seen
in a long time, not only on account of its econ-
omy of material but also its economy of space.
We certainly wish that it might become uni-
versal. It would allow us to have a more com-
pact sheet music department, and in the end
mean more profit for everybody. You deserve
the heartiest endorsement of the trade for this
move, which is in the right direction."
THAT following the action taken against the
teaching of the German language in the schools
and the publication of German newspapers In
this country, the American Relief Legion is now
starting a campaign against German music.
THAT the spreading of German propaganda
through this means has been charged.
THAT now comes a new war song direct from
the trenches. It is called "Chateau-Thierry"
and is by Wm. A. Alexander, of Brooklyn.
THAT Jeff Brannan has joined the staff of the
McCarthy & Fischer Co., as have James 1>.
Monaco, Alfred Bryan, Leo Edwards and Marry
Tierney.
THAT the call for 500 bandmasters for the
American army indicates that the military au-
thorities are not going to let the soldiers starve
for music.
