Papers of George Hopkins Johnson, a Wisconsin industrialist who ran the family business, the Gisholt Machine Company of Madison (circa 1940-1971), was director of and later consultant to the Tools Division of the War Production Board (1942-1945), and was a member of the post-war Allied Commission of Reparations' American delegation to Moscow and Germany, and of the American Business Executive Mission, a special War Department assignment to reassess the production outlook of heavy industry in Germany.
