Bruce, Reading the program, I'm thinking that this is not the Monarch you believe it to be. Not Victor, but a separate company named Monarch. I could be wrong - but then why would it say Victor and Monarch? Loran On Apr 17, 2008, at 4:14 PM, BruceY wrote: Sorry I must have gotten my

the history says that the Monarch Trade Mark was used on instruments for only one season. This seems to confirm my suspicions about the reason for the two names on the Promotional Program by the Exhibitor, making it a very unique and rare reference to the two different Trademarked Talking

From the wording on the bill, you could be right. However, I also found - in my deep, dank, archives - a flyer for the Monarch Talking Machine Co. out of Menomonie WI. Although for a couple of late teens upright internal horn models. Could some little Wisconsin company have been quietly
