Halmark Records

Halmark Records 1127 Ford Street Lapel, Indiana (defunct) Do not confuse with Halmark Records or any other similarly-named company. This company was owned by Joe Carman (3) who used it to sell an album of his original gospel hymn music called Mercy Drops -- a compilation of songs he'd commissioned from the Halmark song-poem company. The Halmark song-poem company had nothing to do with the album. Nevertheless, Carman used the Halmark name and "Sound of Excellence" slogan on his album and in the newspaper advertising he ran for it. There are no other records known to be released on this label.
