cially circularized 6,000 prominent vocal teach- the professional and orchestra department of
ers and singers throughout the country. In Miller & Shoemaker, Inc., New York, newly

publicity preparing the way for the individual
work of the dealer with the Victor Herbert
catalog. The variety of Victor Herbert's works
as well as his prolific and fertile output during
his lifetime is clearly shown in this listing of
his complete works, including solos, duets, two,
three and four-part songs for male, female and
mixed voices, instrumental selections and ar-
rangements for band and orchestra. The Wit-
mark house has gone to great lengths to pre-
sent the composer's complete works, and with
full confidence of a consistent sale of each num-
ber in addition to a big immediate business with
the Herbert favorites. In fact the confidence of
the Witmark firm in "the man who never wrote
a vulgar line" is practically unlimited.
