True Trace Money Clip
notes: label: Description
content: This money clip was owned by Eugene B. Johnson (October 18, 1915 - November 22, 2007), a farmer’s son who worked for over fifty years in the tool and die manufacturing field. After working as salesmen at the National Sales Engineering Corporation, he and his brother-in-law Fred Schultz bought that company and started a second company, Johnson-Shultz Machine Sales. He continued to travel to make sales for both companies and retired as the vice president of both. The money clip has the logo “True Trace.” True Trace milling machines (a precise power-driven tool to cut away material), manufactured by Bridgeport Machines, were one of the products that Johnson sold.
