    Keys and medals


    TBW Inc.

    Bob and Judy Rogers have their key to success


    When a firefighter in Hong Kong puts on his formal uniform, there's a chance that the buckle holding up his trousers comes from Los Gatos. When the sheriff's deputies who police Saratoga go to work, their uniform includes a pin representing the city. That pin comes from Los Gatos. When President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore came to Los Gatos, the mayor gave each one a key to the town. Those keys came from the tiny office/warehouse of TBW Inc.--formerly known as The Belt Works--tucked away on Victory Lane in Los Gatos. The place TBW owners call their "world headquarters" is responsible for lapel pins, belt buckles and keys-to-the-city that are distributed around the world.   More
