Aretino Records

Aretino was a United States record label, in business from about 1907 to 1914. Aretino was started by Arthur J. O'Neill, who was linked to several Chicago-area record and phonograph operations. O’Neill named this company in honor of Guido Aretino, an 11th-century Italian monk because he was an originator of the musical scale. Aretino is an oddity distinguished by its records' spindle hole, the largest ever produced for commercial purposes.
