[78-L] One Sided Red Vocalion Records..??

[Taylor Bowie]

And Lyric "Never Scratches."

Which slogan was the bigger lie?

Most idiotic slogan for any 78 label:  "Why carry a clock when a watch will 
do?"   I think that was from the folks at the Nutmeg Company,  touting their 
crummy little Marathon records.
