[78-L] Record Company "History"

[David Lennick]

Stick with it, it's a hoot. Edison was a very poor businessman. Victor let 
everybody use their process. Hey, Columbia may not have been a furniture 
company. But the OKeh Furniture Company made a fortune selling the Blues and 
didn't have to pay nobody and neither does the Sony Furniture Company.
