Connorized Player Roll Co.
817-21 East 144th St., New York City

In his classic book, "Player Piano Treasury", Harvey Roehl wrote, "By 1920 the company had a branch in St. Louis, Missouri, to take advantage of expanding
mid-western markets.  By 1925 they were really reaching out for markets, and claimed to have the largest selection of Italian songs and dances issued by any player
roll company.  Their catalogs of Polish, Bohemian, Lithuanian, Slavische, Hungarian, Jewish, Spanish, etc., were said by them to be the most complete on the
market."
