Victor Sales Network: State of Illinois
Note: The listings below are for HISTORICAL VICTOR DEALERS from the early years of the 20th Century. They are not current phonograph retailers. Please see our Dealer Locator page for more information.
Some dealers may have multiple addresses shown; this can be due to having several branches or from having moved to a new location.
Distributors are shown highlighted. Many distributors also owned retail stores, so both retail and wholesale outlets may be covered under the same name, at the same (or different) addresses.
Please help us by contributing to this site. If you know of an historical Victor Talking Machine dealer who is not shown in these listings (via a tag on your Victor phonograph, an old advertisement or other means), please email us at paul@victor-victrola.org with the information. Also, if you live near one of these dealers, we would love to have some current pictures taken at the location (even if it is an empty lot!) to share with our readers.
