O.F. Mossberg was associated with I.J. and started his own company in 1919. I can't find where it says he was the inventor, but it sounds like you have.

My father used to sing "John Jacob Jinkelheimer Schmidt". Does anyone know the tune to it? All I remember is. "Whenever we go out, the people always shout 'John Jacob Jinkelheimer Schmidt'. Ta-ra-ra-boomdeyay.".
