American Record Company
The American Record Company was a United States record label, in business from 1904 to 1906.
==History==
The American Record Company (commonly abbreviated as "ARCo") was founded by Ellsworth A. Hawthorne and Horace Sheble, formerly designers of accessories for Edison Records machines at their Philadelphia-based bicycle shop; in a previous venture, they had issued a small run of brown-wax cylinders in the mid-1890s.〔(Lynn Bilton, "Hawthorne & Sheble: Forgotten Giant" )〕 Hawthorne and Sheble partnered with John O. Prescott, whose brother Frederick worked with International Talking Machine in Berlin, which marketed Odeon Records. The new company was based in Springfield, Massachusetts, though they maintained factories in Bridgeport, CT and Philadelphia; recordings were made in a studio in New York City.〔(Lynn Bilton, "Hawthorne & Sheble: Forgotten Giant" )〕 American principally produced single-sided, lateral-cut disc records on blue wax, although two-sided issues and standard, black shellac appeared towards the end of the company's run. In 1906, John O. Prescott left, and Hawthorne and Sheble yielded to pressure from patent holders and retired American, retooling as Star Records; they also abandoned making their own recordings as with American, preferring to re-release "legitimate" discs already marketed by Columbia Records.〔Mainspring Press Blog, "American Record (Hawthorne, Sheble & Prescott) Ads, 1904-1905" ()〕 Hawthorne & Sheble and Star Records was finally closed after unfavorable judgments in 1909 on patents held by the Victor Talking Machine Company.
