[12] Around 1960 Burry Biscuit purchased Cal-Ray Bakeries, a baking corporation based in the Western United States.

[13] At the time of purchase, Burry Biscuit had 1,600 employees, profits of around $730,000 on revenue of $22,525,874, and offered over 40 products.

One of their marketing managers, J.R. McAllister Borie, is credited with popularizing the 'Thin Mint Cookie'.

[17] The "Gaucho" peanut butter sandwich cookie produced by Burry was the same cookie as the Savannah, produced for the consumer market ; Gauchos came in a coarse cardstock box that was covered in a wax-coated paper label.

A small retail store offered baked-that-day but broken/defective cookies in bulk for discounts.

Per Candy and Snack Industry it was a recognized leader in the cookie and cracker business.
