I've always been curious about why US Columbia records after 1939 or so had the notice that their name and trademarks were registered, printed on the labels using two words in the Spanish language. Does anyone here know?

Possibly to enable them to be marketed in Mexico and other parts of Latin America.

Probably to deter couterfeiters south of the border, in a "you've been warned" sort of way.

I heard on the news yesterday that the most popular TV station in Los Angeles is Spanish-speaking

At many places in Florida you have to speak Spanish to make yourself understood.

They could see this coming, in 1939 ;-)

Plus US Decca and (after the demise of the 78) Capitol, too.
