By 1921 he owned 12 shops, in that year he moved his family to Homebush and established thewholesale butchery business of AJ Bush & Sons.With Alfred Bush retiring in 1940, he handed over control to his four sons, who operated the family business under a partnership agreement. They all lived in the Homebush and Strathfield areas.
