Cadet Records was started as Argo Records in 1955 as the jazz subsidiary of Chess Records. Argo changed its name in 1965 to Cadet to avoid confusion with the similarly named label in the UK. Cadet stopped releasing records around 1974 when its artists were moved to Chess.
There was also Cadet Concept records, for rock and more adventurous music, such as the Rotary Connection, and the now-infamous experimental psychedelic Electric Mud album by Muddy Waters. The label also had a Top 20 hit in 1968 with the single "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" by the British band Status Quo through a licensing arrangent with Pye Records in London.
The masters are now owned by Universal Music.
