"There was one change of company ownership in the late 'thirties. In February 1938 the Columbia Broadcasting System bought BRC-ARC. [...] In 1940, they changed the name of the expensive label from Brunswick to Columbia, and of the cheaper one from Vocalion to OKeh. All records after 5621 were put out as OKeh; some of the better-selling earlier records in the 2500 series - originally put out as Vocalion - were re-pressed as OKehs."
