SHEET MUSIC AND RADIO
SAFE WAY INTO PRINT
Music Dealer May Realize Publishing Am-
bitions for Self or Client by Choosing
Reliable Music Printer.
Publishing is really a part of every music dealer's
business, but many think that phase of the business is
a thing apart from the activities of the retailer. Of
course, unwise publishing would be a profit-eater and
fatal to any business, but the possibilities for publish-
ing in a safe and sane way provide opportunities for
the alert music merchant.
There are quite a few music dealers in the smaller
towns who have developed a nice business in music
publishing, either for themselves or for a client.
There is hardly any town in the country that does not
possess one or more people with the gift for com-
posing, in addition to the ability to play some musi-
cal instrument. The local band leaders, organists,
music teachers and even amateurs often number
individuals with the ability and desire to compose
songs and other musical things. But although this
desire has always been apparent, the purpose to pub-
lish has been deterred by the exposures about the
song sharks.
In recent years, however, the vigilance of the Music
Industries Chamber of Commerce has put a curb on
the song sharks and as a consequence the amateur
composers have felt freer to trust their compositions
to publishers familiar to them only by mail.
But the alert music dealers long ago learned that
they could safely become publishers on their own
account or could helpfully aid some local client in
attaining the ambition to get a composition into print.
In this they had the aid of Rayner, Dalheim & Co.,
2054 to 2060 West Lake street, Chicago. It is a de-
pendable music printing house and the largest west
of New York. The well-known phrase "Any pub-
lisher our reference" epitomizes its dependability.
The music dealer may be enabled to help a client to
become a publisher or perhaps may get his own com-
positions into print by using the facilities of the reli-
able Chicago music printing house.
SHEET MUSIC IN PORTLAND, ORE.
Remick Manager for That District Reports Excellent
Sales of Favorites on List.
I. E. Sklare, manager of the Portland, Ore.,
Remick Song & Gift Shop, has returned to his post
after a week spent in the east, in Chicago and De-
troit, where he went to confer with the executives of
the company. While en route to and from the East
Mr. Sklare stopped off at Tacoma, Seattle, Vancou-
ver, B. C, Butte, Spokane, Salt Lake and Denver,
and visited the various dealers at these places and
presented to them the Remick catalogue. Mr. Sklare
says that he was a welcome visitor and left good
orders along the route for such numbers as "My
Best Girl," "Follow the Swallow," "Dreamer of
Manufacturers of
RADIO
Tables
Cabinets
Consoles
Elgin Phonograph & Novelty Co.

Dreams," "Me and My Boy Friend" and "Old Pal."
Mr. Sklare says that he had good sales of "Why
Couldn't It Be Poor Little Me," "I Can't Stop Baby-
ing You" and "Take Me Back to Your Heart," and
other similar hits. While on the trip Mr. Sklare
sounded out the dealers as to the effect of the radio
on the sales of sheet music and it seemed to be the
consensus of opinion that instead of it being a detri-
ment it served as a stimulus of sales.
The Portland, Ore., sheet music dealers were vis-
ited recently by H. Sugarman, representing the
Harms Publishing Company, and found the dealers
ready for him and he left the city with a good sheaf
of orders, among them "Indian Love Call," "Rose
Marie," "Memory Lane," "Tea for Two," and the
new waltz ballad, "June Brought the Roses."
FEDERAL RADIO SUPERVISORS
Department of Commerce Names Officials in Vari-
ous Districts to Supervise Sending Stations.
The department of commerce has presented the
names and addresses of the government radio super-
visors in the various districts in the country. These
supervisors, working in compliance with the ship
radio act of 1910 and the radio transmission act of
1912, have charge of the enforcement of the radio
communication laws of the United States.
They have supervision over the licensing of ama-
teur and commercial transmitting stations and they
check up on these stations frequently to see that they
are not exceeding the power they are entitled to use
under their licenses.
Receiving sets do not come under their jurisdiction,
despite the fact that they get numerous complaints
from radio fans kicking about interference.
If the interference is caused by some neighbor's
high powered set, by neighboring street car lines or
by power leaks the supervisor can do nothing about
it. Should such interference be the result of viola-
tions on the part of some sending station, either com-
mercial or amateur, however, the supervisor can soon
bring the violator to time.
MILWUAKEE FIRM ADDS RADIO.
The new radio department in the Flanner-Hafsoos
Music House, Inc., Milwaukee, features the Radiola
Superheterodyne, and also carries other makes. F. F.
Flanner, member of the firm, is in charge of sales for
the new department. Part of the second floor space
formerly devoted to phonographs has been turned
over to radio.
NEW RADIO MANAGER.
Clifford Neilson is the new manager of the radio
department in the Portland, Ore., branch of Sherman,
Clay & Co., succeeding A. M. Briggs. Mr. Neilson
was formerly in charge of the talking machine de-
partment of the Wiley B. Allen Co.'s branch in
Portland.

REMICK HITS PLEASE FANS
Radio Receiving Set Owners Respond to Station In-
vitation and Name Their Song Favorites.
"Follow the Swallow," a big selling hit of Jerome
H. Remick & Co., is a great favorite with the radio
listeners-in and the fact is faithfully responded to by
the sending stations. During one night, "Follow
the Swallow" was heard from seven different sta-
tions and two of them were playing it at the same
time. Two weeks ago a radio station began the com-
pilation of the number of times various popular songs
and instrumental selections were broadcast, and in
the first batch of responses forty-four fans favored
that song and sixteen favored "My Best Girl," an-
other Remick hit.
"Me and My Boy Friend." is a big winner in the
Remick list and its popularity extends over the en-
tire United States and Canada.
"Just Lonesome," and "Swance Butterfly" arc other
lively sellers in the Remick list.
MUSIC EVENT IN SALT LAKE.
Salt Lake City, Utah, will observe Music Week
May 3-9, and an announcement of the fact has been
made by Mayor C. Clarence Neslen. A music festival
in which military organizations, schools, industries,
hospital staffs, orphanages and other organizations
and institutions will take part will be a leading fea-
ture of the week. Music memory tests in schools will
also be a special feature.
SHEET MUSIC FAILURE.
Fred Fisher, Inc., music publishers, 224 West
Forty-sixth street, New York City, was last week
petitioned into bankruptcy by Louis B. Fordan, for
$150; Clarence Gaskill, $50; Dominant Publishing
Co., $352; Louis Katzman, $158. This house must
not be confused with the great music publishing
house of Carl Fischer.

ADVERTISING SONG BOOKS
Editor Presto: One of our customers inquires
about a collection of old-fashioned songs, suitable for
giving out to prospects and the general public. If
you can inform us where these are printed, you will
confer a great favor, and incidentally boost the piano
business, as it is a foregone conclusion that every-
one receiving a book will need a piano on which to
produce the accompaniments.—A Jobber.
Reply: About the best book of the kind within
our knowledge is put forth in quantities by the Illi-
nois State Register of Springfield, 111. We believe
if you write to that concern you will get a sample of
about what you want.—Presto.
Over 50 songs, words and music for 4 voices and piano,
32 p.p., 6x9, in editions with special illuminated cover
printed to order as wanted. Mention Presto.
