He made the only really important change in centuries of skate making. From the old flat steel or solid type skate to the All Steel, Full Tubular skate. From the making of this first pair in the little basement shop, has grown the world’s largest manufacturers of tubular skates. JOHNSONS lead in sales because JOHNSONS have made skating a greater pleasure—a finer sport.” —Nestor Johnson MFG Co. advertisement in Boy’s Life, 1927Nestor Johnson, the company founder and namesake, was born Nestor Georg Johansen in Oslo, Norway in 1867. Uniquely gifted as both a mechanic and sportsman, he came to America at the age of 20, and quickly set out to combine his two passions into a singular life’s pursuit. The way he figured, being the fastest ice-skater in his new homeland wasn’t just dependent on physical fitness, but quality of equipment—and as a certified bicycle repairman, he had an inside track on the latter. Soon, Nestor’s new take on all-in-one racing skates would make him a local cult hero on the ice, while also forming the basis for a highly profitable business . . . and an intense sibling rivalry.more to follow Thank you so much for supporting my small business!
