the impossible things, but they are not always willing
to consider publishing the compositions of amateurs,
even if the compositions possess undoubted merits.
One reason is that the publisher may have some-
thing already out which is similar in theme to the
amateur effort. Or it may be that the individual
opinion of the publisher is averse for other reasons.
The melody or lyric goes back to the amateur to the

sible hit is pigeon-holed and forgotten until its time-
liness is lost.

sional musicians either need not be lost while there
is a wideawake dealer to suggest the way to publish-
ing. A great many dealers throughout the country
are now familiar with the safe and ready means to

largest firm of music printers west of New York, and
a dependable aid to the dealer who wishes to publish
the meritorious compositions of his customers. Esti-
mates are gladly furnished by the company, which
gives "any publisher our reference."
