Here’s the text from Starkton’s label in case anyone wanted it (or perhaps for future search results for someone researching this label):

コロンビヤ (Columbia)
蓄音平圓板 (phonograph disc)
コロンビヤ (Columbia) 蓄音器 (phonograph) 製造 (manufacture) 會社 (company)
紐育 (New York) 倫敦 (London)
梅の春 (Japanese apricot in Spring)
葛岡 (a name, Kuzuoka, Kaoka, Kasaoka, Katsuoka or Katsuraoka)
966番 (number)

Feel free to correct me, I know a number of members know far more Japanese than I do.

Regards,
David

Script is R-L and Kuzuoka would be the fitting name.

Hope this helps!!

Hopefully now that it's September the APS magazine will be delivered in person and I can display it to my aunties!
