Evergreen [I]
LOCATION: Northwest Recording Studios (9405 Aurora Ave., Seattle, WA.)
OWNER(s): Federal Old Line Insurance Co. (1530 Queen Anne Avenue, Seattle 9, WA.), formed by J. R. Cissna in 1937.
TIMESPAN: ca. 1946-1948
MISC NOTES: Federal was the sponsor of various radio shows and also published songbooks so listeners could read and sing along at home during broadcasts. According to Billboard magazine (7.17.48) Evergreen had ceased to operate and the master recordings were turned over to "Cherokee Jack" Henley who had begun shopping around for a new label to issue them.
To differentiate this label from a later Evergreen based in Olympia, we have designated that label as Evergreen [II].
MISC NOTES: Instrumental tune.
