Owner of Neale Records was Roy Neal Wrightman. Born in 1889, Neal (or Neale) Wrightman has been involved with music since the early twenties. He was a musician, a songwriter, a music publisher and record labels owner. Before his (final?) establishment in San Bernardino, Calif., Neale Wrightman has used various addresses in Charles City, Iowa, in Chicago, in New-York, in Hollywood and San Francisco.
Labels he owned includes Wrightman ("Songs That Satisfy") and its subsidiary Robinet (1947-1952) and Wrimus ("A New Enjoyment in Recorded Music with the Ultimate in Sound", 1956-1961). The last trace of the activity of Neale Music is a 1968 copyright for "Stand Up America", with mention of a Statue of Liberty sticker (?). I have no idea of what is that (sheet music perhaps?)
