John Boos Story
Founded in 1887 by Conrad Boos Sr.
in Effingham, Illinois, and named for his son John, Boos & Co. began as a
company that manufactured wood blocks for blacksmiths. When a visiting butcher
saw Boos' wooden block, he realized it could prove useful at meat market for
chopping cuts of meat without damaging his knives or other work surfaces. Plus,
the thick slab of hardwood naturally absorbed the shock of the butcher's knives
in the same way it had the blacksmiths' hammers.
