HISTORY
The Allen-Hough Manufacturing Co., based initially in Racine, Wisconsin, specialized in the production of portable phonographs.
The company was founded a year before October 1928, as indicated by a report in „Presto Times“ dated January 26, 1929. This report noted the company’s rapid growth, expanding from a payroll of 12 to 100 employees and achieving a daily output of 500 units. The company’s president was Don T. Allen, and George P. Hough served as the secretary.
In 1929, Allen-Hough Manufacturing Co. acquired a Milwaukee-based phonograph company named Carryola. After this acquisition, the company operated under the name Allen-Hough Carryola Co.
