[78-L] Keen-O-Phone label

[Rockined1]

just acquired a bunch of Keen-O-Phone 78s--in all my years of collecting I've never seen this label.

Anyone know about it??

 I'm a big Will Rogers fan and so all these comments are fascinating to 
 me. Today all the focus is on young sexy pop stars so its difficult for 
 people today to understand the impact this middle aged joke teller had 
 on our society. He was funny, wise and well, comfortable.
 
 I wasn't born until 1954, but my mother always talked about how 
 devastated people were when Rogers died. Rogers' picture hung on the 
 living room wall in the home of one of my great aunts. Mom said that 
 when Rogers died her aunt cried.
 
 And Warren, I haven't run across any tribute songs, either. But I do 
 have sheet music for a song from his bogus 1928 presidential campaign. 
 Its title is "Song of the Bunkless Party." I don't know if it was ever 
 recorded.
