time, is all the more remarkable.
That it pays, and pays well, is proven by the
strides made by the Century Co. during the past
eighteen months. Its business has increased re-
markably and many dealers have commented on
the new interest shown the Century edition by
the music-buying public.

ing the advances made

In these days when the average dealer and
publisher is prone to keep his expenses at a
minimum, particularly his appropriations de-
voted to advertising purposes, it is an opportune
moment to give recognition to an organization
which has increased its advertising budget.

Co. received co-operation
of this kind, but the new
dealers, acknowledging the
merits of such a "hook-
up" with Century national
publicity, are increasing at
a substantial rate.
In order to give its
dealers every co-operation and encouragement
in carrying on such local publicity the Century
Music Co. furnishes free advertising cuts, with
a space for the dealer's imprint, which can either
be used as individual ads or as part of a larger
ad. These cuts are changed from time to time
.to add to the variety and to attract renewed
attention. Some new material of this sort is now
being forwarded to the trade.
In addition, the Century Co. is furnishing the
trade with a new Century metal window sign of
a very attractive design.
Supplementing its Fall national advertising
campaign, which ran through the months of
September, October, November and December,
the Century Music Co. has just closed an adver-
tising contract for the months of February,
March and April, in which the following national
advertising mediums are used: Ladies' Home
Journal, Good Housekeeping, Red Book, Musi-
cal Courier, Etude, Cosmopolitan, St. Nicholas,
Pictorial Review, Woman's Home Companion,
Delineator,
McClure's, Designer,
McCalPs,
Mothers' Magazine and the National Geographi-
cal Magazine. These publications have a com-
bined circulation of 15,041,000.

Sherman, Clay & Co., will manage the new of-
fices and the quarters are equipped to care for
the needs of orchestras, concert artists, vaude-
ville performers and the emergency v needs of
the trade.
As can be seen in the accompanying reproduc-
tions of photographs of the offices, they are
among the most attractive offices and studios to
be found in the music-publishing field.
Among the songs that the firm is at present
exploiting are: "Smilin 1 ," "To-morrow Land"
Studio for Use of Artists
and "Have You Forgotten?" These numbers
arc all having big sales and have been recorded
by the music roll and talking record companies.
"Smilin'," particularly, is quite popular in or-
chestra and dance circles. Played as a fox-trot
it is heard frequently, and it has shown indi-
cations, as far as popularity is concerned, of fol-
lowing in the footsteps of such Sherman, Clay
& Co. numbers as "Whispering," "Do You Ever
Think of Me?" and "Hold Me."
WATERSON CATALOG ACTIVE
Demand for W. B. & S. Songs Reaches Far
Beyond Expectations
The Waterson, Berlin & Snyder catalog was
never more active than it has been this season.
Walter Douglass, sales manager of the company,
states that the demand for his firm's songs dur-
ing the past few months has been most gratify-
ing and far beyond expectations. Despite the ap-
proaching holidays the sales for several of the
firm's numbers have shown substantial increases
over previous weeks.
The leading numbers of the catalog include
such songs as: "I Wonder if You Still Care for
Me?," "My Sunny Tennessee," "In a Boat,"
"Stolen Kisses," "Leave Me With a Smile" and
"Ha, Ha, Ha!"
"Bow-Wow Blues" is the title of a new fox-
trot number written by Nat Osborne and Cliff
Friend, published by Irving Berlin, Inc.
