Then—EARL FULLER—Now

TWO years ago, "a fellow named Fuller" was an orchestra drummer playing in one of the big hotels in New York.

Today Earl Fuller has a luxurious office at 1604 Broadway, New York, where he directs the booking of his many orchestras and instrumental organizations which are everywhere—Earl Fuller's Orchestras, Earl Fuller's Jazz Bands, Earl Fuller's All Star Bands and so on. His fame as an orchestra organizer and originator has spread over the country faster than the Bolshevik movement through Russia. At Rector's he has set the standard of music for New York.

Much of Mr. Fuller's time is devoted to directing his orchestras in making those wonderful and unique jazz records for the Victor, Columbia and Emerson records which are played on hundreds of thousands of phonographs all over the world. As a director, a man of exceptional business acumen and a composer of great ability, he is probably the best known orchestra leader in the country, and he rightly claims that his organizations are originations.
