Classic Ambassador Victrola: Columbia Records SHRIMP BOATS 2011-01-06 - Photo by John E. Moss (c) John E. Moss. E. Cumberland AV., Jamestown, Russell Co., KY Still Playing The Classic 78's: Few things sound as good as the Columbia Records recording of "Shrimp Boats" aka "Shrimp boats isa comin' there's dancin' tonight" played on a Classic Ambassador Victrola manufactured in Chicago, Illinois. Want the volume higher? Just open the cabinet doors wider! The small brown 78 record in the corner of the photograph is actually a postal advertisement originally mailed to W.H Gumpton of Greensburg, Kentucky. When played, the recording tells about how you can save $55 dollars on a new Chevrolet motor car when you purchase one for only $445 FOB Flint, Michigan. The small recording tells the virtues of the six cylinder Chevrolet. Less than six cylinders and you sacrifice the proven Chevrolet smooth ride, and more than six cylinders you can't get that Chevrolet economy. Photograph taken January 5, 2011 by John E. Moss.
