Banner got a lot of mentions in the Trades in 1947-1948.  I also notice 
the same with the newspapers-- this recording by Jessel was described in 
March 1948 as his "famed monologue" in a brief newspaper article saying 
it was now available on Banner.  And speaking of comedy, do you happen 
to have a copy of Michael Rosenberg's comedy skit on Banner, "Getzel 
Goes to a Baseball Game"? I vaguely recall my parents playing that for 
me when I was a kid, along with other Jewish humorists on other labels 
(Sam Levinson was very popular in our house).
