"CAROLINA IN THE MORNING^ FEATURED BY KRESGE
Boston Store Makes Special Showing of Jerome H. Remick Number During Holiday Season and
Boston Public Makes Quick Response to Handsome Window Display
Among this season's songs which have been
active in the catalog of Jerome H. Remick & Co.
is "Carolina in the Morning." The sales de-
partment of the Remick concern inaugurated
a campaign in trade circles in behalf of this
number at the start of the new year. The
result has been the arrangement of several ex-
clusive window displays of "Carolina in the
Morning" by dealers throughout the country.
During the holiday season the S. S. Kresge
Co. store, Boston, Mass., made a special show-
Boston and was played by numerous dance
orchestras added to its value.

A considerable part of the business of the
Music Shop is in orchestrations and band
arrangements. This end of the business has
been developed by Miss Black through careful
attention to the needs of theatre orchestras
throughout the State, as well as requirements of
small-town bands. Her efforts in this line have
been to secure trade that otherwise would go
to Chicago, Cincinnati or New York.
The strategic location of Indianapolis in the
center of the State, together with exceptional
distributing facilities afforded by numerous elec-
tric lines, supplementing steam roads, has
proven a big aid in promoting this business.
Miss Black also gives particular care to notify-
ing customers immediately when an order is
received if a number is not in stock and to
explaining when they may expect their orders
to be filled.
