f°'HITC WINGS"
*oseph G ull.ck's Song Had Obequereii
Oareee Before It Became
'opulste.
B•aok In 1882 Joseph Gulick, a
strolling troubadour with IIaverly's
Mastodon Minstrels, wrote a song
that rapidly met with failure, Ire
called it "White Wings" =after' a fa-
tniliar novel of that day by William,
Meek. For $25 he roleaeed.the song
title to Banks Winter, a fellow min-
strel
mi
-
strel and tenor who had conte up
from Goorgia to join the troupe. Tho
Southerner had enjoyed. Black's POP
alar story and became fascinated by
the book's' title, implying the white
nails of. a vessel. He fashioned both
words and music of a new song.
It sang of a lover aboard a yacht•.
shooting "along thecrest of the sea,,
to his blue-eyed bride who awaited
him patiently "high up the craggy
cliffs." The sailor F experiencing. a
longing for sight of his beloved, tin -
furls the "white wings" and makes
for port with timely assistance of a
stiff breeze. He has pinned his hope
on the majestic "white wings" to
carry hila safely home to his Maggie
Darrow, vowing never to part from
her.
For over two years Winter hawk-
ed his song to every publisher .only
to have it rejected, an experience
common to all rising authors and
composers. Unlike Gulick, he refused.
to become discouraged, but elected,
instead, to sing the ballad the fol-
lowing summer in Huber's Garden,
a popular resort in New "fork City,
when .he concluded the season with
the I .averly troupe. At Huber's Gar-
den it caught the ear of J. P. O'Keefe,
a baritone with the Thatcher, Prim-
rose and West Minstrels, who sought
permission to sing it for the coming
tour. It also drew the attention of a
local music publisher, who tendered
the author and composer a royalty
contract.. As a token of appreciation
Winter dedicated the - song to
O'Keefe. But still the general pub-
lic held itself aloof from "White,
Wings." In the meantime Winter
joined the Thatcher, Primrose and
West outfit.
Wherever O'Keefe sang Winter's
ballad it was received with .apathy,
forcing George Primrose to delete it
from the program. Then followed a
two weeks' engagement at the Boston
Theatre. It was the custom for sing-
ers to .vary their songs iu mid -week
when appearing in weeks stands or
more, The second half of this en-
gagement found Winter lacking a
new song, when the musical director,
half in earnest, suggested "White
Wings," and remarked that a tenor
might make it register with the audi-
ence where a baritone failed. This
recommendation encouraged Winter
and once again he decided to launch
the song. During rehearsal he was
the target of his fellow minstrels
with their "Good -by, Banks," Unde-
terred by their harmless quips, he
sang "White Wings" before the foot-
lights. It was greeted with so much
applause that he was compelled to
render a triple encore. Behind the
wings he could detect a "Good boy,
Banks" from his burned -cork col-
leagues.
The reception accorded the ballad
that night puzzled Winter so much
that he became apprehensive, He
feared that his company manager
had deliberately "planted' 'people in
the audience for the sole purpose of
creating applause. But his doubts
were removed when acclamation
greeted him after every performance
during the Boston run. It even fol-
lowed him back to New York at Ni-
blo's Garden, and thereafter for nt.any
years one could hear the refrain of
"White Wings" played upon numer-
ous pianos, flowing from brass and
stringed musical instruments and
hummed by millions.

Britain Gets Her Best Bananas Froni
Canary rslands.
In Great Britain they consider that
their best bananas come from the Ca-
naries, butt -Jan -taloa sends the largest
stocks; while the biggest fruit, which
unfortunately is also the coarsest,
comes from Costa Rica. They receive
80,000 bunches a week at Christmas-
time, and on a full-sized buuch the
number of fruit is about ten dozen.
Of oranges at least a quarter of a
million boxes arrive in Great .Britain
for Christmas, and a box holds from
140 to 250 oranges according to size,
The best come from the West Indies,
and are known by their pale -colored
skins, often mottled with "rust."
Canada sends most of the winter

The cheaper varieties of grapes
come from Spain, but the best win-
ter grapes are grown under glass in

Fresh pineapples come from St.

HEN your merchandise turnover is
sluggish and your revenue falls off it's
time tb look your business squarely in
the eye.
Looking, you're likely to find two particu-
larly disturbing factors. One is that some of
your customers are shopping outside of Wing -
ham. The other is that these same customers,
and some others also, are buying from mail or-
der houses.
Disturbing as these conditions are, adver-
tising is a way of getting around thein. Adver-
tising, that is, where it can do you the most
ood, advertising w'her'e your customers are
certain to see it --advertising- in your local
home newsl)aper.
Your own advertising is essential. There's
no doubt of that. But 'if your Merchandise
turnover is to speed up and stay that way, the
advertising support of the manufacturers
whose commodities you handle is just as nec-
essary. •
And you can go a long way in` enlisting the
support of these manufacturers quite easily.
When the salesmen of the manufacturers
whose goods you stock call on you, impress
them with this thought:
If you are to do any sizable anrol.int of busi-
ness you nnlst keep \. 'ingham's folk coming to
yoitr stores and that advertising i1i your local
borne tic'.wspaper--•-your.: own and that of the
manufacturer ---is therefore an absolute faeces-
tit y.
;flake this thought impressive enough and
the salemen are bound toconvey it to their
hone offices where advertisin, moneys are de-
cided upon and advertising media selected.

ed with the town news-
