Don't get me wrong, Bruce. I agree completely about the Wisconsin Monarch... I'm playing devil's advocate here. However, sometimes things are not as complicated as we believe. I think this guy knew what he was doing when he put that little word "and" between Victor & Monarch...
Interesting side note: I found 1921 legislation in the state of Delaware rescinding the incorporation of the Monarch Talking Machine Co., Inc. for failure to remit taxes for the two previous years. Of course, I'm assuming that this is the WI Monarch ;) Loran On Apr 17, 2008, at 6:36 PM, BruceY wrote: > More then likely that Monarch Company was part of the many many > mostly unsuccesful Companies who entered the Talking Machine Market > when the Patent rights for the Disc records and Talking Machines ran > out in the late 19teens.
