SHEET MUSIC TRADE
TO PUBLISHERS
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
THE COMBINED CIRCULATION
OF PRESTO (EST. 1884), AND MUS-
ICAL TIMES (EST. 1881), IS BY FAR
THE LARGEST IN THE FIELD OF
THE MUSIC TRADE. COMBINA-
TION RATES OF SPECIAL AT-
TRACTIVENESS FOR ADVERTIS-
ING SPACE IN BOTH PAPERS
WILL BE MADE TO MUSIC PUB-
LISHERS.
This department is designed to advance the sales
of sheet music, and give any current information in
the Sheet Music Trade.
This publication believes that Sheet Music will
pay the dealer, just as any other commodity pays
those who merchandise it properly.
The conductor of this department will review
any numbers that are sent in for the purpose. It is
not the intent to criticise, but to review these offer-
ings, giving particular information of the theme and
a description of the musical setting of the number
discussed.
Address all communications to Conductor Sheet
Music Dept, Presto. 407 S. Dearborn, Chicago, 111.
SHEET MUSIC PROGRAM
Piano Club of Chicago Hears New Songs Believed to
Be Hits of the New Season.
The Piano Club of Chicago turned out in record
force to hear the program prepared by the sheet
music publishers who are members of the club at the
meeting- last Monday noon. The song publishers
offered the numbers which they think will be "hits"
during the coming season, and presented them with
the aid of entertainers, who gave the club an un-
usually enjoyable program.
The publishers represented at the meeting were
Will Rossiter, F. J. A. Forster Music Co., McKinley
Music Co., and the Joe Morris Music Co. The F. J.
A. Forster company was represented by Wendell
Hall, who sang "Mellow Moon" and "Fuzzy Wuzzy
Bird." Will Rossiter was represented on the pro-
gram by Miss Edith Carpenter and Miss Grace
Ingram, who sang "Trot Along" and "If Winter
Comes." Walter Wilson and Harry Davis appeared
for the Joe Morris company and sang "Mother's
Love," "Tomorrow Morning" and their latest song,
"Georgia Cabin Door." Mr, McKinley, of the Mc-
Kinley Music Co., represented himself by telling a
number of original jokes, and introduced Miss Isa-
belle Simpson and Miss Ruth Pouley, who sang "The
Trail to Long Ago" and a new number called "My
Virginia Rose."
"THE LOVE YOU
FIRST GAVE ME"
A Song of the better class. Very pretty
melody. Will go well anywhere. One
of the kind that never grows old.

to Gott & Henderson, 166 West Jackson boulevard,
Chicago, are the means to nice profit for dealers who

ORCHESTRATIONS NOW READY.
Orchestrations are now ready for the winning
song, "The Love You First Gave Me," according to
the announcement of the publisher, Wm. Stern, 6219
May street, Chicago. The very alluring price for
the orchestration is twenty-five cents. The song is of
the kind which retains popularity. It has a very ap-
pealing melody and the publisher reports the num-
ber is in great demand in all sections of the country.
Mr. Stern has a bulletin service for American popu-
lar music and is in close touch with requirements of
sheet music dealers everywhere.
CHRISTIANSEN FEATURE.
Axel Christiansen, one of the outstanding figures
of the Chicago musical world, stepped to the front
once more, Wednesday night, when he entertained a
large audience over the radio of the Daily News. The
greater part of the program of this Chicago daily that
night was given by Christiansen, who played and
sang any selections called for by friends—an unusual
and original feature. The novelty was so well re-
ceived that the calls for selections exceeded the num-
ber of pieces allowed on the program.
BUYS DES MOINES STOCK.
The stock of the University Music Shop, Des
Moines, la., has been purchased by the Robyns Music
Shop of the same city. The stock of sheet music in-
cluded standard, popular and a good line of teachers'
music and books. The Robyns Music Shop will fea-
ture the music in its downtown store.
FEATURES REMICK SONGS.
The Remick song, "My Buddy," was recently fea-
tured by Henri Keates on the big organ of the Lib-
erty Theater, Portland, Ore. The Portland orches-
tras generally are partial to "By the River Side" and
"To-morrow," two very popular Remick fox-trots.
"THE EDGAR SHOPPE."
"The Edgar Shoppe" is the clever name of an
enterprising musical store in Tulsa, Okla. Thomas
J. Edgar is the owner of the shop and the originator
of the name.
