[78-L] Pairing artists for greater sales

[David Lennick]

By the way, the label didn't go to "RCA Victor" in Canada until 1947. And on 
looking at Bluebird records from 1941 pressed in both countries, I notice "RCA 
Manufacturing Company" on the American label and "RCA Victor Company Limited" 
on the Canadian one, so it's all one.
