I had this disk, and I too have have called it the "Sherman Williams 
Orchestra", and I *can* read and I *know better*!

I'm simply an idiot. (Well, duh!)

Anyway, in digging around for info on this thing, I noticed that the 
master number (31030-2) fits nicely within the Victor matrices from 
1924, the closest Victor-issued master being one by Ted Weems, IIRC. 
Could it be a Victor master that was pressed by Compo? It's most likely 
a co-winky-dink, but I thought I'd ask (because I'm a moron :) ). BTW, 
my copy has a label number of 668-A, and no info about the manufacturer 
or where it was pressed.
