Whiteley's were a department store in London (Queen's Road, Bayswater). In about 1912, they started stocking their own records, which were oversized (10½") and pressed from Grammavox masters. There were about 150 pairs of titles in a catalogue series running from A-1. The records are not easy to find, and details of any not shown here would be greatly appreciated.
 

 

This is a first attempt at a listing. Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.

Thanks to the following for providing extra details: Richard Prout, Frank Andrews, Norman Field
