78 rpm Record Labels - H
Although the labels below are pretty similar the one on the right says "Classic Record Company" at the top while the record on the left says "Made by Elite Record Mfgers."
The above Hi-Tone is a green shellac record!
The image below is the backside of the Rudy Vallee record. Later in their existence HOW put pictures on the backs of some of the records.

Harvard was manufactured by American Graphophone Company (Columbia) for Sears between 1905-07. This is an earlier label variety and is from a 7" single sided record. Sears later replaced Harvard in favor of the Oxford brand (see labels for letter 'O').
Hi-Lo Records, New York, NY. Hi-Lo was a short lived R&B and Gospel label from 1953. This particular record was recorded in May 1953.
High Society Records. This is a party record label. Don't know date.
Hi-Tone Records. Hi-Tone was manufactured by Signature Records (see S record labels). Both red label ones say it was from Derby, CT. The White ones say Shelton, CT - a neighboring town. The yellow record to the left is a children's Hi-Tone record made in Shelton, CT. The label, I believe, was from the 1940s. I don't know if it went into the 50s.
Humpty Dumpty Records. New York, NY. Childrens record label. Although it may look red this is an orange record.
