Scope and Contents
This series is divided into two small subseries: Burlington (Iowa) Soap Company, 1906-1908, and subject files, 1912-1983. The Iowa Soap Company materials include a notebook of accounts and commissions that Johnson maintained while working for the company. Founded in 1905, the Iowa Soap Company produced a full line of toilet and laundry soaps that were sold to grocery and drug stores. The subject files are arranged alphabetically and include a wide variety of topics concentrating on legal and patent matters. Of note are the J.M. Angeletti files, 1934-1940, which include small, paper lampshade designs. These designs are numbered 1-12 and are in pencil and ink. Also, the King (Dominion of Canada) vs. Weaver files, 1916-1918, consist of correspondence between W.H.F. Millar, attorney for the Mantle Lamp Company of America and N.K. LaFlamme, attorney for H.G. Weaver. H.G. Weaver, an employee at the Mantle Lamp Company resigned to start his own company. Before leaving the company he allegedly photocopied lists of customers, letters, paragraph books from the New York Office, form letters from the Montreal Office, lists of distributors in Quebec, printed circulars, and lists of advertisers. Additional correspondence, dealing with patenting and legal matters, is found in the Ralph H. Langley, files, 1936-1942. Langley, a consulting engineer who conducted patent research, for interference and reissue cases, reviewed new patent applications for Johnson Laboratories, Inc. Additionally, files on the Mantle Lamp Company of America, 1919-1927, deal with patent infringement, royalty checks, and other legal matters.
