[78-L] Anybody know what year Aladdin quit pressing 78's?

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Gart says the last release in the main (and only?) Aladdin issue series 
was 3463 in February of  1960. He does not specify when 78 production 
ended but the thought occurs to me they were probably pressed by Allied 
in LA (Aladdin's main offices were also in LA). If this was so then it 
might be easier finding out when Allied stopped pressing 78s.
