I got this five-record, 78 rpm, Varsity album set (number 38) for free today containing Varsity records 8303, 8304, 8305, 8314, 8315 (not all consecutively numbered).
Who were the Edisoneers??? I believe each of the men's jackets have "CONSOLIDATED EDISON" embroidered on them. I couldn't really find many answers using google. Was this group from a certain city? Did they travel and perform around the country for Con Ed?
Any information would be appreciated,
Bob

As you surmised, a chorus of Con Ed employees. They get a mention here:
