Levi Strauss 1950's ink blotter Fremont Nebraska Gerald Sampter

Description

Pretty good condition. Definitely not perfect and reverse hasn’t been used very much but does have some staining.
I found a brief obituary for the owner of the shop being advertised:
Gerald enlisted in the Navy 20 May 1918, and was released 10 March 1919.
The Fremont Tribune issue June 7, 1921 has the details of the Sampter-Pettit wedding which occurred June 6, 1921 at 4:00 PM.
The 1940 census shows Gerald, Marie, Nanette living at the same house with Danis (sp) Miller, a 30 year old female servant. All occupants of the home were born in Nebraska.
April 28, 1942, Gerald registered for the draft. His WWII registration shows that he is 5 feet 9 inches tall, 160 lbs, gray hair, brown eyes and sallow complexion. He is 45 years old. He resides at 1602 North Nye Street in Fremont NE. His lay of employment is at 517 North Main, Fremont. He resides with his wife, Mrs. Gerald Sampter.
Gerald was the owner of Gerald Sampter Clothier in Fremont Nebraska. The business was started by his father Nathan Sampter in 1883.
