Your Profit is 150%.

Your trade increases constantly.
Each customer creates another for you.
Your investment is small.
In a nutshell this is the story of
"CENTURY CERTIFIED EDITION"
sheet music, selling retail at 15c per
copy.
The first numbers to be issued in this new
form are two new songs, "It's O. K. Katy
With Me," a novelty fox-trot, and "Swing Me
High, Swing Me Low," a waltz song. The
publishers intend to wage an intensive sales
campaign and publicity drive on these numbers
and, in considering the additional value through
the saxophone arrangements, look forward to
an unusual sales record.

M. Witmark & Sons, after a thorough con-
sideration of the great popularity of the
saxophone as a home musical instrument and
believing that the sale of popular music can
be aided greatly through the inclusion of a
specially written solo part for the C melody
and Eb alto saxophone, have decided to issue
such parts and include them in their popular
song copies. This part will be separate from
the piano arrangement, so that the saxophonist
may place it on his own stand when being
accompanied by a pianist.
