Remick Music Company
Jerome H. Remick created Remick Music Company after graduating from Detroit Business University in 1887. The business began when Remick bought out the struggling Whitney-Warner Publishing Company. In 1902, Remick founded Shapiro-Remick & Company with his business partner Maurice Shapiro. They sold several million copies in 1905 of the successful "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree”. Remick left the company and created his own publication Remick Music Company signing George Gershwin in 1914. Gershwin composed many songs until he left in 1917. Remick kept the company running until it was bought by his vice-president Jerome Keit. Keit soon sold the company to Warner Brothers.
