Another Big One!
The annual fall dinner of the Greater New York
Music Publishers' & Dealers' Association was held
at Castle Cave on Tuesday evening of last week,
and never in the history of the association was
there a larger attendance at any of the fall affairs.
The banquet was in the form of a beefsteak din-
ner and despite the fact that these are days when
it is impossible to get any of the amber fluid
with a kick in it, something that was always a

The association is most fortunate in having
among its members not only music publishers,
but also representatives of the various recording
companies both in the player-piano music roll
and talking machine record fields. While in the mechanical reproduction houses, with the excep-
past the association has always obtained outside tion of the music, which was rendered by Sher-

INTRODUCTORY PRICE 15c
The Fisher Thompson Music Pub. Co., Butte,
Mont., have several songs in their catalog meet-
ing a demand which is far beyond their expecta-
tions. This has induced them to open up offices
in New York City in the Exchange Building,
145 West 45th street, a move made to allow them
to fill orders promptly to dealers east of the
Mississippi and to give their numbers unusual
publicity in eastern territory. Their New York
office will have representatives to look after both
the trade and profession.
The Fisher Thompson Music Pub. Co. recently
signed contracts for Bosworth & Co., London,
England, who will handle their publications
throughout the British Empire and Europe.
One of the most successful songs in the Fisher
Thompson Co.'s catalog is the number entitled
"I've Been a-Longin' for You" which apparently
is designed to be one of the biggest sellers of
the season.
