JACK MILLS TENDERED DINNER BEFORE EUROPEAN TRIP
Large Number of Friends and Associates Bid Him Farewell on Night Before He Sails for Eng-
land—A Short Sketch of the Rapid Progress of This Firm in the Publishing World
Jack Mills, of Jack Mills, Inc., sailed for
London on Tuesday of this week. On Monday
evening a farewell dinner was tendered him by
his many friends in the trade and his business
associates at Keene's Chop House, West Forty-
fourth s t r e e t , New
York City.
Music
was furnished by the
Original
Memphis
Five. Others who re-
sponded with songs
or piano solos were
Billy J o n e s , Cliff
Hess, Johnny Wilson,
Eddie Buzzell, Jack
Osterman and other
Broadway
stars.
Short addresses were
made by many of
Jack Mills
those who attended
wishing Jack Mills the best during his Euro-
pean tour. The various executives of the or-
ganization also spoke feelingly of their em-
ployer, the organization and its aims.
Jack Mills seemed greatly touched by the
words of his confreres and although his emo-
tions were, undoubtedly, aroused to the highest
pitch, he responded with a few well-chosen
words.
Samuel Jesse Buzzell, attorney for Jack Mills,
Inc., made the chief address of the evening.
He said, in part:
"We are gathered here to-night to pay our
respects in person to Jack Mills on the eve
of his departure for Europe. It is an occasion
not of sorrow or sadness, but of great joy and
pleasure.
"I should like to stand here for hours and
tell you what I know about this boy, his fight
and struggle and his success, and it would
read just like one of those books we used to
read by Horatio Alger, but the excellent com-
mittee has arranged some very wonderful sur-
prises for you and even if you permitted me
this opportunity it would not be fair. It is
fitting that I tell you that in the Summer of
1919 I formed the corporation Jack Mills, Inc.
It had a little money, but at its head this boy,
who had vision, foresight, determination and
backbone. In an incredibly short time, and it
POPULAR STANDARDS IN DEMAND
is a short time, Jack Mills, Inc., has grown,
has made a reputation, has enjoyed prosperity,
has spread its name outside of New York City
into every State in the Union and in little
hamlets of States that are not even on Rand
McNally's map, in England, Australia, France
and in other remote parts of the world, and it
is still growing. It has built up and around
it an organization composed of very efficient
men in all of its departments, who are imbued
with the spirit of work, and who appreciate the
opportunity they have in working and being
one of the members of this growing organiza-
tion, and, as I said before, at the head of it is
this boy, who had the vision, foresight, de-
termination and the backbone to see it, and,
in my opinion, this is another significant chapter
that will clearly show to everybody the vast
opportunities a country like this affords to all
of us."
Among those who attended were Will
Teller, head of Robfert Teller Sons & Dorner,
Marco Marx, Eddie Buzzell, Max Kortlander,
A. E. Satherley, Joe Mittenthal, George Lott-
man, Jimmie McHugh, Irving Mills, George
Friedman, Irwin Dash, theatrical people, news-
paper men and others.
CHICACO, I I I . , May 12.—Among the leading or-
chestras and bands featuring the numbers pub-
lished by the Mid-West Music House, 64,^4
YVoodlawn avenue, is Manning's Band. Richard
Manning and his band played at the opening of
Riverview Park on May 9, featuring several of
the numbers published by the Mid-West Music
House, including the popular waltz number, "In
Rose Time," and the fox-trot, "Blossoms." Four
concerts are being given by Manning's Band,
which started May 9 and will continue through
the month on the 13th, the 18th and 22nd.
NEW PHIL PONCE NUMBER
The Phil Ponce Publication recently issued a
new novelty, entitled "The Cat's Whiskers,"
which is being played nightly by many of the
leading orchestras along Broadway. The num-
ber is in fox-trot form and is popular with
dancers.

R. L. Huntzinger,. Inc., has moved from 159
West Fifty-seventh street to the sixth floor of
the Lakner Building, 56 West Forty-fifth street.
The new quarters are now undergoing altera-
tions which will be completed by June 1. The
new offices give greatly increased room for the
growth of this company, which has made con-
siderable progress during the past few years.
The new home has a well-appointed studio for
the use of concert artists and other high-class
singers, spacious offices, large stock and ship-
ping rooms. The trade department is quite
large and is arranged in a manner that allows
for convenient inspection of stock.
The high-class ballad, "God Touched the
Rose," which was issued by the above company
some time ago, has shown indications of be-
coming quite popular. Many artists are now
programming it and the trade is ordering the
number in increasing quantities, which is the
best criterion of the favor it is receiving.
"The False Prophet," an encore song from
the same catalog, is also being heard frequently.
The publisher intends shortly to give it a sub-
title, probably "The Daisy Song," as this will
assist the public and trade in making their
purchases.
The growth of the firm has been steady since
the inception, as is shown by the expansion in
this present move.
