Embassy



The Embassy phonograph was the "house" brand of Babson Bros of Canada Limited, Winnipeg and Toronto.



Babson Bros pamphlet, 1923. "The Embassy is made in a factory with 20 years experience making only phonographs." This may very well have been the factory of The George McLagan Furniture Co., Limited, Stratford, Ontario.
