Since we’ve been on the subject of bread lately — discussing sandwiches and sliced bread, I should probably re-visit the subject of wrapping or bagging that bread.
Way back on November 18, 2018, this space was filled with a discussion of the Burford Company that’s located just outside my hometown of Maysville, Oklahoma. If you’re interested in the history of the company you can refer back to that 2018 entry.
The reason I bring it up again is that the great majority of bread wrapping machines are made by the Burford Company. They’ve expanded over the years and now have offices internationally — but their headquarters remain just outside of Maysville. Their invention of the first twist-tie machine for bread wrappers revolutionized the packaging of bread and today they are still the acknowledged innovators and suppliers for the baking industry — around the world.
I’m still proud to say that me, Wiley Post and the Burford Company put Maysville on the map…..
