Burke Premier Play EnvironmentsBurke Premier Play Environments

1950s

J.E. and Ethlyn’s children grew up surrounded by playground equipment, so it was natural when they became involved with running the family business. William (Bill) took over operations at the home plant in Fond du Lac. And in 1952, when a second manufacturing facility was bought in New Jersey, younger son, John Jr., ran it. He also began focusing on company growth through aggressive marketing and sales practices. Soon, the Burke name became as prominent in the East as it was in the Midwest. Daughter Patty Burke assisted the growing company with various office skills.
