Humble Beginnings in the Surveying Industry
Blackburn Mfg. Co. is a family-owned firm that was started in 1953 by E. A. “Bud” Blackburn in the basement of a small family homestead near Royal, Nebraska.
Bud’s uncle worked in the surveying industry and used old lathe stakes as markers. He came to Bud and asked him if he could attach a piece of cloth or paper to a wire or wooden stick.
