Paramount Records came from a chair company.
How does a chair company have anything to do with music?
That's a great question, Taylor.
So the Wisconsin chair company obviously made chairs and other furniture.
Around 1915, they started manufacturing phonograph cabinets.
So record players essentially for other companies.
And they realized, hey, we should just make them for ourselves and sell them.
And then they realized, why don't we make the records as well?
So that's how that happened.
