From the phonograph trade journal Talking Machine World, June, 1924. The ad announced Okeh’s discovery of the “mountaineers” Fiddlin’ John Carson and Henry Whitter, and praised their “Old Time Pieces” and “Hill Country Music.” The ad is significant for its portrayal of Carson and Whitter as two dressed-up country men, indicating no stereotyped costume for country music artists in 1924.
