Rare, near mint condition 1907 sheet music of Cowperthwait Centennial March, with words and music by Abe Holzmann and published by and complements of well known early New York City department store Cowperthwait & Sons for their 100th anniversary 1807 to 1907. This piece is begging for a frame on the wall, with the title and whimsical cover art depicting "Our Century Plant Is In Bloom" a perfect representation of the early 20th century dynamic. Cowperthwait & Sons was founded in 1807 and grew along with New York City "to supply household requisites to all classes of homes as they multiplied over and over." It was one of the earliest stores to actively cater to and serve the black population in NY from its Harlem store on 125th St. and from which this piece came. The back cover also notes that "liberal credit is granted without extra charge, while cash purchasers receive a ten per cent discount. Prices are moderate and are marked in plain figures on each tag." Appealing to march and militaria collectors as well as sheet music and advertising collectors, it measures 14.0" x 11.0" and comes to you by way of a major Tryon, NC estate full of the rarest sheet music and offered at a price to sell fast.
