From the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration website :

1849 - Foundresses travel from Bavaria to Milwaukee
Fathers Anthony Keppeler and Mathias Steiger lead 12 Third Order Secular Franciscan women and men from their parish in Ettenbeuren, Bavaria, to Milwaukee, WI, where Bishop John Martin Henni receives them into the diocese on May 28, 1849. The six women in the group, with Mother Aemiliana Dirr as their leader, are intent upon founding a religious community to spread the Gospel among German immigrants, especially through educating children and caring for people who are disadvantaged.
Coulee was a '60s record label based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Owned by Bill Grafft, who also ran the Boom, Knight, Column, Lindy and Transaction labels.

The La Crosse area is known as "Coulee Country;" in the unglaciated area of Wisconsin, "coulee" refers to a steep-sided valley.

There is also a Mystery Girl singer on Dial Records.  Same singer ?

The Don Peachey Band played their first public dance in June of 1951 and released their first recordings in 1957.

Superjack on Superjack




Superjack

31939 - Get It Out Of Our Minds Girl
31940 – Unsung Song

Superjack

Recorded at RCA Victor Nashville;
Arranged by Cliff Parman;
Produced by Jackson Taylor / Cliff Parman;

Frederick Music Co. (BMI)


Jackson Taylor was born in Portage, Wis. on November 26, 1942, the son of Thomas and Margaret (Tucker) Taylor. He graduated from Green Lake High School and attended U.W. Madison. Jack was a member of BMI as a song writer, and was the Doggie Sox Manufacturer in Green Lake. Collecting classic cars was a passion for Jack, and he won numerous trophies for his cars. He also was the coordinator of the Green Lake Car show for 20 years.

He passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, at the University Hospital in Madison.

He did invent, patented and manufactured the Doggie Sox :

One of the more interesting new creations in the kennel collection is Doggie Sox. But it’s not a joke. « Salt on the sidewalks is like acid. It cracks dogs’ feet, » says inventor Jackson Taylor. « There’s been foot protection for dogs before. We’ve bought rubber foots for our poodle and had to throw them away. They don’t stay on the dog. We’eve got a suspender system that keeps these socks on. »

New York Magazine - Vol. 16, n° 41, 17 oct. 1983 Putting on the Dog, article.
Patent 4633817
Protective footwear for animals
January 6, 1987
Protective footwear for animals includes a suspender system for retaining two-piece bootees on the animal's feet. The bootee comprises a sock of warm and comfortable yarn which is inserted into and joined to a boot of deerskin...


And he wrote books also ("The Professional approach to selling your songs", 1979)...



Back on topic. It's rather unusual to see the names of renowned musicians printed on the label of a Rite pressing : Cliff Parman, arranger and producer of this disk, started in Chicago in the forties and later in Nashville. He co-wrote "Pretend", a Nat King Cole hit in 1953. He arranged recordings by such artists as Esther Philips, Joe Henderson, Cal Smith, Bobby Helms, ... to name a few.

Frederick Music, the publishing company, was owned by Bud Brandon, with whom Cliff Parman worked in Chicago.

Cara Stewart, Dwight Duvall on Brosh

Cara Stewart
CP-4693 - Yearning
(C. Angel Brosh Music BMI)

Dwight Duvall
CP-4694 - Blue Memories
(Johnson; Greenlaw, Brosh Music BMI)

Brosh Records #100

Milwaukee, Wisconsin




"There are only a handful of documented releases on the Brosh label (pronounced "Broash", we're told). At least a few of them, as documented on the AS/PMA website, were clearly not song-poem releases, while others clearly were. This one, which likely was the first release on the label, would appear to fall into the latter category...
