The Ditson novelty list for September and

the new Ditson offerings and in addition it
carries some constructive suggestions for build-

Featuring "Charley, My Boy"
successful song and dance number has been
most rapid. The national campaign inaugu-
rated by the publisher produced immediate re-
sponses everywhere and the sales have justified
the energetic activities which were placed be-
hind its release.
The dealers have shown the utmost co-opera-
tion in presenting "Charley, My Boy" to popu-
lar music publishers. In stores where demon-
strations are in favor it has often been used as
a feature. Title pages of the number have been
given conspicuous positions in windows and
"Charley, My Boy" has also been made a coun-
ter attraction.
When a song becomes widely popular a mere
display of the title pages produces sales. Bear-
ing this in mind the S. S. Kresge store, Phila-
delphia, Pa., recently gave a full window show-
ing to the title pages of this popular Berlin
number with fine results in sales.
