Jay Witmark, of M. Witmark & Sons, re-
lurned recently from a Western trade trip in
the interest of his firm's catalog. He says he
was pleased, indeed, with the remarkable ac-
tivity in the territory visited, which was sub-
stantiated by a nice volume of orders covering
Witmark publications in all of its departments.
The contrast afforded between conditions to-day
and those of the past eighteen months speaks
well for the coming Fall. At no time in the
history of the company have M. Witmark &
Sons had more active popular numbers. Four
of these particularly are having heavy sales.
These include: "Say It While Dancing," "All
Over Nothing at All," "Just Wild About
Harry" and "For the Sake of Auld Lang Syne."
The Witmark Black and White Series con-
tinues to make strides of progress. The operatic
catalog is equally as live. There are several
numbers in the catalog known as the "Wit-
mark Picture Songs." "Smilin' Through" need
hardly be mentioned and in addition there are
"My Wild Irish Rose," "Oliver Twist,"
"Jackie," "Lorna Doone" and "Eternal Flame. 1 '
