DD,

I'm too stoopid to scan but this is what is written on the label (or,  as 
some say on eBay, the "lable"):

A Personal Message to Humming Bird Salesgirls

from

T. WALTER FRED,  President
of the HUMMING BIRD
HOSIERY MILLS

Mx. W170272.  Take in wax: 1-A-1

The Cummins side is credited on the label to "The Humming Bird Orchestra" 
and does not mention Bernie Cummins.  The take # in the wax is 2-B-2.

I had another copy which was screwed up and I don't recall what I did with 
it.

What is listed in the book in between Mr. Fred's immortal chat and the 
Cummins side?  There are two master numbers....could one of them have been 
the MIA Gypsy Sweetheart (probably Roam On,  My Little G.S. which was from 
'27).
