 From the wording on the bill, you could be right. However, I also  
found - in my deep, dank, archives - a flyer for the Monarch Talking  
Machine Co. out of Menomonie WI. Although for a couple of late teens  
upright internal horn models.

Could some little Wisconsin company have been quietly churning catalog  
machines in the early days?
