Sheet music for “Friends,” the lyrics describe the value of friends, as well as the death of Theodore Roosevelt, “A real true blue friend to this nation.” The song was printed in a smaller size than usual to conserve paper during World War I. The title, “FRIENDS,” is printed on the cover in black with a red outline, with the words “Successfully introduced by Julian Eltinge.” The cover illustration features a photograph of a woman in a wide-brimmed black hat and formal dress, looking to the side, and an inset photograph of a man in a three piece suit and fedora, possibly Eltinge.
