"As
you may know, Clark had an agreement with QRS by which Clark got a copy
of every QRS master, which Clark transcribed for their various
nickelodeon rolls. Before 1923 or 1924 Clark used QRS masters but
also employed their own arrangers to make special nickelodeon-only
arrangements of certain songs. After about 1924 Clark never again
made any of their own arrangements and used QRS masters exclusively."
-- Dave Junchen in a letter to Art Reblitz, published in 020122
