Belwin, Inc., which has one of the largest
direct orchestra businesses in the United States,
as well as being the publisher of several popu-
lar songs of importance, recently acquired two
more floors in the Columbia Theatre Building,
701 Seventh avenue, New York City.
The whole forward part of the tenth floor
of that building has been acquired as a storage
and stock room, and in addition the fourth
floor of the building has been taken over and
converted into a trade and sales department.
The mezzanine, second and third floors of
the building, which the company has long occu-
pied, are being rearranged and the separate en-
trance to this section is being continued. The
mezzanine floor will house the artists' studio
and professional department, as well as the
office of Louis Breau, the professional manager
of the company. The second floor has been
given over to executive offices and the third
floor will, as now, quarter the general shipping
rooms.
THREE NEW SAXOPHONE NUMBERS
Isham Jones, the well-known musical direc-
tor and exclusive Brunswick artist, is the writer
of three saxophone solos, which have been ac-
cepted for publication by Richmond-Robbins,
Inc. The publisher, in recent months, has made
a feature of saxophone solos and these new
additions to its catalog will add to it further
activity.
REMICK SECURES NEW SONG
Jerome H. Remick & Co. has taken over from
the Florentine Music Co., of San Francisco, the
song, "I'm Not to Blame."
