Interest to the Dealers
The January, 1927, Ditson novelty list has
just been forwarded to the trade, together with
the January issue of "Selling Points for
Dealers." It is interesting to note that in the
announcement of the Oliver Ditson Co. its
novelties are placed in the hands of the trade
with a guarantee accompanying them which
allows full credit for the prompt return of
unsold copies during a three months' period.
Special attention is called to advance pub-
lication news to three new and important
groups of publications, "Five Poetic Sketches
for the Piano," by L. Leslie Loth; "In Meadows
Gay," comprising ten little pieces for the piano,
by Nicholas d'Averil, and "The Seven Last
Words of Christ," by Theodore Dubois. This
is in chorus parts only, arranged especially for
women's voices, by A. Stanley Osborn. This
latter group is particularly appropriate for at-
tention with the approach of Lent and Holy
Week.
