KE1T AS REMICK SECRETARY
Popular Sales Manager Advanced and Placed in
Charge of New York Business
Jerome Keit, for a number of years connected
with Jerome H. Remick & Co., in New York,
more recently as sales manager, in which capac-
ity he has rendered notable service, has been
promoted to the office of secretary of the com-
pany, succeeding the late Fred E. Belcher, and
has been placed in charge of the business in New
York. Mr. Keit will take on many new respon-
sibilities, but his experience in the Remick busi-
ness well qualifies him to handle the new duties
capably and well.

MAX DREYFUS ON AUTO TRIP
Max Dreyfus, head of the firm of T. B. Harms
& Francis, Day & Hunter, recently returned from
an automobile trip covering, much of the terri-
tory in the New England States. He was away
a little over two weeks and returned to his desk
feeling much refreshed.
G. Ricordi & Co., New York, the prominent
music publishers, have increased their capital
stock from $1,000 to $100,000-and it is said plan

WEEKLY LUNCHEONS RESUMED
Found Trade Flourishing and Much Optimism
Regarding the Outlook
The Wednesday luncheons of the Greater New
York Music Publishers' and Dealers' Associa-
tion, which proved so successful in previous
years, promoting good feeling in the local trade,
will resume on Wednesday of this week, Octo-
ber 1, at Keen's Chop House on Thirty-sixth
street. The luncheon time for the season is set
at 1 p. m. and a private dining room has been
placed at the disposal of the music men and
their friends.
Jay Witmark, of the firm of M. Witmark &
Sous, recently returned from a Western trip
and among the cities visited were Chicago and
Detroit. He stated that he received the biggest
volume of business in that territory of any
trip in recent years. Mr. Witmark further
stated that he found conditions everywhere in
a most flourishing state and that prospects for
the months to come are most bright. It is his
opinion that the so-called restlessness and un-
certainty in business circles have not affected
the music trade. He was not able to meet any-
one whose talk or views contained a trace of
pessimism. On the contrary, the general feel-
ing appears to be that the coming season will
prove to be one of the most prosperous in the
history of sheet music.
Mr. Witmark states demands for his firm's
publications are tremendously active every-
where, and especially is this true of their high-
class catalog. Among the more active numbers
of these issues appear to be "Smilin' Through"
and Fred W. Vanderpool's "Values."
One of the most successful fox-trots of the
present season appears to be Hugo Frey's "No-
body Kver." This number also has achieved
success as a song, carrying a lyric by I. Caesar.
