"Heart Songs" is not a mere collection of words and music' thrown togeather to make a song book, 20,000 people voted the songs in “Heart Songs” the songs of the American 'people Four years were required to reach a verdict and the result is

“Heart Songs," the song book of the American people.

Many of these songs cannot be tound in any other collection They came in yellow, time-worn, tear-stained sheets- that had been sacredly treasured from childhoodl- some were written out from memory-others were given by titles only-- or remembered verses involving along search to obtain the whole. Of the thousands received it is safe to say that the several hundred finally selected-as having the largest number of votes and the highest endorsement-represent today the taste of the Americian people in its choice of music. We believe that the distribution of this unrivalled song collection will- bring-more happiness into the hor_i_i_es__9f _ our Readers; will do more to make them-attractive to young and old; do more to inculcate a love for music; to soften, elevate and refine the home life; to cultivate thenoble and
