A friend of mine sent me some info on a roll he has (see below).
Since I'm unfamiliar with it I'd thought I throw it out to the
MMDers to get their input. I assume the $3.00 reference is an
old price sticker affixed to the end of the box label.
Thanks,

"Dear Mark -- I have a very fat roll that says
QRS X2257 $3.00
The Pearl and the Pumpkin
Selection
Arranged for Orchestra by
W. C. O'Hare
John W. Bratton
Q.R.S. Company
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.
The paper part of the roll is slightly under 10-1/2" wide.
Is this a standard roll? I know "The Pearl and the Pumpkin"
was a 1904 show. Regards, John"
