[Dan Van Landingham]

Was Sparton the same company that made the radio sets?

Hmm! Royal referred to the Ivie Anderson vocals but I missed that in 
referencing the 1933 version on Canadian Columbia. Very odd that Canada would 
issue that in 1940 without there being a US version for parts. There was no 
Canadian pressing of Columbia for several years and Sparton didn't get parts 
from Compo when it started pressing Columbias in late 1939. In fact Compo was 
still using old Brunswick stampers, sometimes without the right to use 
them..they were supposed to have dropped Brunswick entirely around 1936 in 
order to get Decca.
