The Vocalstyle Music Co . Cincinnati, O., has an-
nounced the issue of the following rolls:
13219—The Prisoner's Song, famous mountain bal-
lad.
13056—The Wreck on the Southern Old 97, com-
edy song, will bring back memories of Casey Jones.
12981—You Will Never Miss Your Mother Until
She Is Gone, great camp meeting song in the moun-

"Heart appeal and business appeal are embodied
in these mountain tunes. Plaintive in melody and
theme they have a real heart appeal to all music
lovers whether they live in the mountains or not.
Their rythm is different and the melodies and words
fascinating in their simplicity. Their business appeal
is in the fact that your trade will gladly buy them if
you give them the chance," is the advice to dealers
of the Vocalstvle Music Co.

SCHAFF
Piano String Co.
Manufacturer* of
Musique et Instruments says that about 100,000,000
francs worth of musical instruments was exported by
France in the year 1924, which shows a great advance
on the corresponding period of 1923. The journal
quoted, whilst gratified at the figures, reminds its
readers that a minister of the United States has said
that the music business should represent 10 per cent
of the total commerce of the country. In every case,
the French music business is progressing in most of
its branches—piano manufacture and other instru-
ments, sheet music, etc. Old firms have renewed
their equipment and modernized their processes of
manufacture.
