Was there really a Johnson Reel Competitor of same name?

It is reputed that the Louis Johnson Company of Highland Park, Ill. was responsible for producing the Sure Spin Models 50, 348, 348D, 420, 548, & 640. I am unable to find any definitive factual information on this subject. If you have this info, please let me know

I posted a photo in the gallery of their brochure which clearly outlines their company name and address.  There was another Johnson reel completely unrelated to those manufactured in Mankato MN.
