Edward B. Marks opened his press on West 28th Street in 1894 — the heart of Tin Pan Alley. The early catalogue caught the parlour-song boom: The Sidewalks of New York, Sweet Rosie O'Grady, and the patriotic standards George M. Cohan was writing on commission.
In the 1930s Marks pivoted to publishing the Cuban dance-band material that became the rumba and mambo standards — Ernesto Lecuona, Moisés Simons, the rhumba and bolero catalogues. Now part of the Music Sales (Hal Leonard) group.
