History

The company bears a similar name as Authors' and Composers' Publishing Company. Sloane, at his death in 1925, was vice president of Authors' and Composers' Publishing Company and president of Composers' Publishing Company. In 1901, Marcus Witmark prevailed in winning a court injunction against Authors' and Composers' Publishing Company to cease publishing and selling of Sloane's works. Witmark averred that Sloane had a contract with his firm, M. Witmark & Sons.
