That's how I've always heard it, Ron. Sears-Roebuck owned Colonial Radio, so I've read. Philco never supplied sets to "private brands", such as Silvertone, Truetone, Coronado, and so on.
A lot of the private brand sets were supplied by Detrola, Clinton, Belmont, Wells-Gardner, and even RCA. As a rule, you can tell who made the chassis, just by its appearance.
