Even in the mid-50's, the sales of 78's had gone down so far that it was 
almost surely non-profit. There were pockets of the population that 
still lacked consistent electric service into the late 50's. Some were 
intended for sale overseas I am sure. I am a Lou Breese collector and so 
far, I have landed only one 78 of his 50's era Bally releases. It was a 
Canadian Sparton.
