Advertisement featuring "Howard Power's Latest Success," Gussie Davis's song The fatal wedding (copyright 1893), with words by W. H. Windom. Printed on recto are the lyrics of 18 songs, including The fatal wedding, and advertisement for 11 songbooks from the Songster series; 18 more songbooks advertised on verso, along with 3 Irish songbooks, and 19 general publications, (a few adorned with rather racist illustrations).

Also includes two German titles advertised in German black-letter. Not found in OCLC.…
