| Butcher Boy was created in 1927 by William Lasar II, at the time a young German engineer immigrant, who designed and built a meat saw for his brother Rudolf's butcher shop in Goleta, California. It never occurred to him that his invention would serve anyone else than his brother. However, a salesman from a butcher supplies company, who made regular sales calls to Rudolf's shop thought differently.
He had never seen or even heard of a meat saw before and asked what it was. The young engineer proudly described his invention and the salesman was very impressed. He said he would return with his sales manager to see if they could perhaps sell some machines. When the salesman and his manager returned a few days later, they asked to speak to the young butcher's boy who designed the meat saw. William (Bill) then met with them and described the purpose of the machine. In 1927 this was considered a new high tech product and the salesmen were very excited when they made a marekting arrangement to begin selling the meat saws, but, the new product needed a name . . . |
When the salesmen went into the butcher shop looking for Bill, they asked the other butchers if they could speak to the butcher boy (a name used at the time to describe a butcher's helper). Since the new saw was a butcher's helper and Bill was working at Rudolf's shop as a butcher's helper, they all decided to name the product BUTCHER BOY, to represent William Lasar II, the inventor of the new meat saw.
From this humble beginning, Bill eventually moved to Los Angeles, California to start Lasar Machine Works in 1929 which eventually evolved into Lasar Manufacturing Company, Inc. In 1980, Bill and his son, William Lasar III, who had worked along side his father for many years, established Butcher Boy Limited in Scotland. Today, Butcher boy Limited is the world center for Butcher Boy where new machines are designed, manufactured and marketed throughout the world through established distributors and factory sales/service offices. |
