The Plaza Music Company was formed in New York City with the Banner Record label, in 1922. The company acquired several smaller labels in the 1920s including Domino, Jewel, Oriole, and Regal. In 1929, the Plaza Music Company, Cameo Record Corporation, and Pathé Phonograph and Radio Corporation merged into the American Record Corporation (ARC). Plaza began a single matrix series for all of its labels in 1923, beginning with 5000. ARC would continue using this system after the merger.
