label: Description
content: <p>Supertone Records was a record label sold by the Sears-Roebuck Company in their stores and through mail-order. The first pressings of Supertone were made by the Fletcher Record Company and then Bridgeport Die and Machine Company in 1924. Within a year, Sears discontinued the label. Supertone was produced by Straus and Schram from 1925 to 1928 after Sears failed to register the Supertone brand name. In 1928, Sears regained the brand name and sold records produced by Gennett records until 1930. The Brunswick Radio Corporation produced the last of the Supertone records through 1931.</p>
