FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
The eyes have it again! "Lovable Eyes," one of
the new hits of Jerome H. Remick & Co., is du-
plicating the successes of "Your Eyes Have Told
Me So," an assured gatherer of profits for the sheet
music dealers. "Lovable Eyes" is of the same ten-
der quality in words and suitability in melody as
the earlier winner from Jerome H. Remick & Co.
The "State Theme" is likely to achieve another
winner in "Carolina in the Morning," and if it does
half as well as "California," that other Remick hit,
it will be among the great favorites in the song line.
"Tomorrow Will Be Brighter Than Today," is
a song with an encouraging title and words and music
that properly present its spiritr With "Buddy," it
is sharing the favor of the sheet music buyers. It is
sought as a concert number and is always well re-
ceived by critical audiences. Others among the New
Jerome H. Remick Co.'s numbers that are proving
satisfactory to jobbers, dealers and that high court of
musical opinion—the public—are "Polly," "Just a Lit-
tle Blue," "Silver Swanee" and "Dixie Highway."
BUYS APPLETON BUSINESS.
William H. Nolan, who recently purchased the
Carroll Music Shop, Appleton, Wis., was formerly
in charge of the artist's tours for the Victor Talking
Machine Co. Mrs. Nolan is a concert artist of ability
and before coming to Appleton was a contralto soloist
in Philadelphia, under the direction of Alexander
Matthews, organist and composer. Mr. Nolan took
formal possession of the business last week from
E. F. Carroll, who has gone to California.
Ed. Lindbeck, of the Lindbeck & Nelson concern
of Kewanee, Illinois, was among the dealers who
called on Chicago wholesale music companies during

MORE APPROBATION FOR
NEW CONTRACT FORM
Principles of Arbitration in Rule 9 Particularly
Evokes Praise From Organization.
The Standard Acceptance of Order, which was
adopted by the Musical Supply and Piano Manufac-
turers Associations and which has already been put
into use by a number of supply firms, has met with
the approval of several of the more important trade
bodies, both state and national. The principle of ar-
bitration, embodies in Rule 9 of the standard contract,
appeals particularly to the common desire of these or-
ganizations to promote workable plans for the set-
tlement of commercial disputes without litigation.
Letters have been received by the Music Industries
Chamber of Commerce from H. R. Heydon, Secre-
tary of the National Association of Purchasing
Agents, and Charles L. Bernheimer, Chairman of the
Committee on Arbitration of the New York State
Chamber of Commerce, expressing interest in the
standard contract form and approval of the recogni-
tion given to arbitration as a means for the disposi-
tion of disputes, as evidenced by Rule 9.
The contract form was also referred to the United
States Chamber of Commerce at Washington, and the
following letter has been received from D. A. Skin-
ner, secretary, in which he said:
"Rule 9, to which you call special attention, is in
general accordance with the point of view expressed
by our Board of Directors when the National Cham-
ber issued its pamphlet on arbitration, last spring.
The form you have used for the rule also seems ad-
vantageous, in that it provides opportunity for the
use of good offices by the Music Industries Chamber
of Commerce.
"The effect upon the trade in piano supplies of such
a rule as the one to which you direct attention would
seem to be very beneficial. If your plan comes into
general use, this rule would seem to influence strongly
both buyers and sellers to fulfill their obligations in
accordance with the understanding of the parties
when the obligations were made. Such a result
should have a stabilizing influence upon conditions in
the trade, especially at times of uncertainty in geneial
business conditions."
UNIFORM SALES LAWS
INTEREST PIANO DEALERS
Illinois Music Merchants' Association and New York
Association Discuss the Matter.
The convention last week in Peoria of the Illinois
Music Merchants' Association resulted in the concen-
tration of the trade of the state on the necessity of an
amendment to the chattel mortgage law of Illinois.
The legislation committee of the organization will
immediately proceed to secure such an amendment,
one that will permit of filing instead of recording
chattel mortgages.
The laws relating to chattel mortgages are matters
of considerable interest in other states. Uniform con-
ditional sales laws will be discussed at a meeting of
the New York Piano Merchants' Association to be
held at the Cafe Boulevard, Broadway and Forty-first
street on the evening of October 31. At this meeting
Samuel Weinstein, well posted on the sales conditions
in the piano trade and well informed on all laws ap-
plying to sales, will speak. The distinction between a
chattel mortgage and a sale determined by the uni-
form conditional sale law now effective in New York
state will be pointed out by Mr. Weinstein.
