The Goderich Organ Company operated in Goderich, Ontario, from 1892 to 1930. Although primarily an organ manufacturer, the company briefly entered the talking machine business in 1919 and produced or assembled one phonograph model, the Royal, for a couple of years. No catalogues or national advertisements for the Royal have yet been identified, suggesting that production was probably limited or short-lived.

Talking Machine World, July 1919, p. 143: "At a banquet recently tendered the employees of the Goederich [sic] Organ Co. by its directors the musical program was furnished by the Royal talking machine, a product of this company's own plant."
