Found yet another reference to Jack Frost, this time at RCA in Los Angeles, c.1947.

This collection keeps posing new questions.  Haven't seen or heard this Christmas record yet, but this is the envelope used to ship it to Mr Jack Frost and RCA.  Apparently, many of the records in this collection were acquired from Mr Jack Frost who worked at RCA, including the SNow WHite and Fats Waller 'Sample Records'.  

I'm not able to put the pieces of this puzzle together myself.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all your patience!  CDB
