About the end of this week or the beginning of next week, a new song will be put upon the Canadian market, composed by a well-known Welland young man. The name of the new song is “Vive La You and Me,” and is composed by Joseph Thomas Sykes, a member of the Welland Fire Company.

The first copy, hot off the press arrived in the city on Saturday morning. It has an exquisite cover design, showing a picture of Anne Luther, the famous movie star, to whom the edition is dedicated.

The music for the song is composed by Leo Friedman of Chicago, the well-known music composer.  This edition is published by the Riviera Music Company of Chicago.

The song has already created quite a hit in the United States, where it was recently released.
