John Bull Record

Another very patriotic-looking label, but produced in Germany on the "tally-man" system. This was sold door-to-door and the customer would get a free gramophone after signing an agreement to buy a set number of records (about 50) over the next year, at 2/6 each. John Bull records first appeared in 1909 using masters from Beka and Favorite, and later on, other German and British companies became involved, until the company ceased in 1913 and all old stock bought by the Albion record Company.
