Mozart (3)

Small label owned by the Mozart Talking Machine Company in St. Louis, MO, that was founded in 1916 and also produced seven lines of "Mozart" gramophones. Headed by J. P. Fitzgerald, the label announced the upcoming release of 10" and 12" vertical-cut (hill-and-dale) records in May 1917. The catalog numbers of Mozart's releases are identical to records issued by The Imperial Talking Machine Co. of Wilmington, DE, which, in turn, acquired the entire assets of the Rex Talking Machine Corporation, including its catalog of 1,200 recordings, in February 1917.
