[78-L] Emerson: artist "Okays" their recording?

[Stephen Davies]

Folks,
        I have two sequential discs from Emerson with different label 
styles.  Both are by the Six Brown Brothers in 1919, almost at their peak 
of popularity.
        My guess is that my copy of Emerson 1055 has an earlier style of 
label than my copy of Emerson 1056.  I base my guess on the fact that the 
handwritten-style of the "Ok Tom Brown" on 1055 has become typeset on 
1056.  Can anyone verify my assumption?

        And the question today is: Who is okaying what?  Was Tom Brown, 
leader of the outfit, okaying the quality of recording?

        Also, the matrices from these two discs combined run: 4437, 4438, 
4440 & 4441.  The tantalizing mystery is who and what was on matrix 4439. 
These two discs are the only ones I know the Browns to have released on 
Emerson, but was a third disc in the works?
