Burgess Battery Company, I Had No Idea This Was A Thing

April 30, 2024 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

The Burgess Battery Company (Burgess) was founded by Dr. Charles F. Burgess in Madison, Wisconsin, and incorporated on March 1, 1917. The United States entered World War I a month later on April 6. During the war, Burgess collaborated with the US Army Signal Corps to develop quality batteries for radio communication equipment.

I had no idea this company existed until I saw an ad for it on a fellow member of the larger Burgess family’s Facebook page. It’s cool that this existed. I know my dad would have found this to be really cool. I know I do. The company no longer exists but their legacy lives on.

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The holiday is an underdog if you think about it. It has to fight for recognition because Christmas seems to engulf everything once we get past Halloween. Thanksgiving is when we give thanks and spend time with family both biological and chosen. I like the parade, the food such as turkey and dressing. We can’t forget the pies too. and more. It’s cool that Thanksgiving is celebrated in Canada and The United States.
