Victor Day in Canada

[Lenoirstreetguy]

Here's one of the newspaper ads that appeared for the Canadian Victor on December 2, 1925. This is the "official" one from the Victor Talking Machine Co of Canada. The big dealers did their own as well. I had a dickens of a time saving this from the Toronto Public Library website, and it's a little small, but you get the general idea. As I've often said on Victor day here in Toronto it would have been impossible to NOT hear a Credenza if one stood at the intersection of Queen and Yonge Streets: there were about eight Victor dealers within a radius of one block.

As a P.S I thought I'd add a Canadian VE Process label. This is from July 1925. Canadian Victor 'fessed up about electrical recording immediately instead of waiting like American Victor.. but the records didn't use the term Orthophonic, of course since the word wasn't introduced till Victor Day It didn't appear on the the records for another year.
