Astoria and had the p rize fish canned in
ha lf·poun d ca ns und er hi s own label :
"Budge's Best." La bel showed Budge reo
c1 ining in a fishing boat, wi th a bottle of
co rn likker at his side, a fi shing line tied to
hi big toe, a nd bi g salmon j um pin g out of
the wa ter all around the label. Original
letterin g had been "Budge's Bu t," a nd
th e " u" was replaced with the "e" wh en
the 40·pound er fin ally decided to take the
ba it and take u p homestead in Budge'
80 little half·pound cans.
For Christmas Budge remembered hi
fri end with two cans of the prize salmon
snu gly nestled in a bi g box of huge jumbo·
size Engl ish walnuts. All in all- the prize
novel gift of th e 1944 Christmas seaso n.
And , thanks, Budge for including tbe
