Conqueror Records was a budget record label sold by the Sears-Roebuck Company in their stores and through mail-order. Most of the recordings originated from the Plaza Music Company and later the American Record Corporation (ARC) and Vocalion/Okeh, with some only appearing on Conqueror. The label was active from 1928 to 1942.
