A & L Potato was established by brothers, Albert & Lawrence Boushey. in 1956 Albert took over the business & added his two sons. The business still exists today & has extended to 4 generations of the family. Burlap fabric was invented in India in the 1700's. Jute was used to make the material. Burlap sacks were strong & lightweight. They were used around the world. Companies such as Bemis began using burlap & canvas type material to make sacks for the grain & feed industry around 1900. Single color & multi color printing added to the use of burlap sacks. Many companies started moving away from the use of burlap when paper & plastic became the standard for single use product sacks.
