“BUTCH” BURBIDGE
CELEBRATES 20TH
ANNIVERSARY HERE
Not his wedding, nor birthday
but an anniversary Just as import­
ant arrived Wednesday for “ Butch”
Sidney Burbidge who yesterday
celebrated twenty years In the
meat shop business in Nyssa. In
May, 1913, Biitch came from Bos­
ton, Lincolnshire, England, to join
his brother the late Horace Bur­
bidge In the shop in the "old tin
shack” on main street. In 1918
Butch became a citizen of this
country and served during the „
World War. Upon his return, he
resumed cutting chops and steaks.
Today, Butch and his partner
Dewey Ray have one of the most
up-to-date and attractive packing
plants in Malheur county. In fact,
it is frequently called the best. Not­
ed for its cleanliness and good
meats, it enjoys a wide patronage
from Nyssa and vicinity.
