The 'Paramount' brand was introduced in NZ in 1936.
'Paramount' branded equipment was manufactured by Paramount Radio,
they were distributed by Cash Radio Co..
Currently there are 4 documented models.
Paramount appears to be an offshoot company from Cash Radio Co - perhaps a more upmarket brand for the company? They had their own store, but many Paramount sets seem to still have a Cash Radio Co label on the chassis.
