 The Compo Company
The Brunswick records, duplicating American issues in all respects except label details, appeared in February 1932, replacing the Apex label, which was not to appear again until 1943 (although the Apex trademark was prominent on letterheads during the time!).
Melotone records were, in fact, sold by Eaton's until 1947, appearing regularly in the catalogues; they were apparently not sold solely by Eaton's.
It is worth noting that the listings of records of this firm are quite similar to Compo/Decca catalogues of the period, and it is quite possible that Compo was connected with the operation, which would explain how the use of the Melotone label was retained.

 Brunswick and Vocalion Records
Brunswick, while not the first firm to offer electric recordings, was the first firm to offer electric reproduction, with their Panatrope electric phonograph introduced simultaneously with electric recordings.
In 1930, the parent firm, discovering that the record business was no longer profitable, sold their record operation to Warner Brothers, the movie firm, who intended to tie it in with their film business.
Even the appearance of film stars on record failed to sell Brunswicks, however, and in 1932 the label was acquired by the American Record Corporation, with the Canadian operations dropped, as ARC was tied in with the Compo Company in Canada.
