"Chicago, the most populous Swedish city after Stockholm, was also home to the first record label founded by a Nordic immigrant to the United States. Gustaf Waldemar Wallin, a former crofter from Sweden's rocky western coast, owned a music shop and launched Wallin's Svenska Records, issuing 28 ten-inch shellac discs (56 tracks) from 1923 to 1927... Wallin's discs were recorded by two important entrepeneurs with Chicago studios: evangelist Homer Rodeheaver, who made acoustic records, and Orlando Marsh, who pioneered in the field of electrical recording"--Container.
